'62 master single circuit , all lines are dry, the leak seeps thru the rubber plug on top where line feed is. I had filled the resivour and it sat in the garage for a week. All the fluid dripped to the garage floor! So can I get a new rubber plug without buying the whole unit? And does it just pull out?
Now I'm gonna miss the Car Show ...bummer
It's just gravity feed right? No pressure.
Thx for your help!

Yep correct on all counts. You can just get the new upper rubber plug just wet it with brake fluid to install. Don't be afraid to wet it good wear gloves and pop it in. Very Happy

What is the history on the brake system?

EG did you just finish rebuilding it, or are you trying to get a barn find running by installing/working on least amount of brake parts?
