Mysterious Massive Brake Fluid Leak

Be that as it may, I completed the fix and tested it at 15 psi before bleeding.
SOAB! Nothing leaking but the friggin stopper and a dribble from the new reservoir hose where the hard line comes out of it. They don’t have the braided hose any more. It’s smooth rubber. Gunna try a clamp on that one, but the stopper has been a recurring problem through the years. Seams like a really inadequate design. Why not have another flare fitting like all the other’s?

Is the supply line supposed to have a flared end? Picture on WW doesn’t show one. But my old one dad one. Re-used it but it’s a little rough so I’m going to try to bend up a new one.

Anyway, anyone have similar problems and found a fix?

OK I think I just realized something. I’m using one of those bottles that you pump up and pressure bleed through the reservoir cap, so I think I’m pressurizing something that isn’t normally under pressure during braking. Am I correct.

Yes.
Use clamps on the non pressurized side of the res.. That way you don't blow off the supply lines to the MC.

There's never enough time to do it right the first time. But there's always enough time to do it thrice.
