| So Ceebers excessive freeplay and my negative freeplay come from mixing & matching brand names? The Bus Depot sent me a PEX master with a 1/4" deep hole in the top of the cylinder for the pushrod, The old one in my '85 has a hole about an inch deep. |

| I found brake fluid dripping from my clutch master cylinder, so I am putting in a replacement. I found there is no freeplay between the push rod and the piston, I have to compress the spring in order to get it bolted in place. During the bleeding process, I am still getting a drip on the floor. With a new master, where else can it be leaking from? Is the lack of free play causing this? Now to crawl under and try to adjust. |
Check if you have copper washers on both sides of the banjo fitting and that its properly torqued. Also check to see if the fluid supply hose from the reservoir is leaking. The ends could be cracked, so you could cut a bit off to get a fresh end until you get a new hose.

I was talking about the the slave cylinders. I've not had this problem with the master cylinders.
