Default Clutch master cylinder leaking after tear down / build up, any ideas? 1995 vx

It never leaked before, but it's leaking in the cabin now (off and on as I have not seen actual fluid / just bubbled paint). I won't be able to look at it until next week. Just would like to get an idea of the possible problem.

FYI: The entire system was removed for a color change last year.

Thanks for any feedback

Very common problem on our cars. They usually start leaking after 80k miles or so.

I got them in stock...shoot me a PM

Well the cylinder has 150k+ on it. Just weird it starts leaking after removed and reinstalled. Looking at the diagram / car, it's leaking from the center where it meets the firewall. I also remember I reinstalled the mster cylinder without the little black gasket since I couldn't find it Guess I'll order a new cylinder and gasket while I am at it

the gasket just keeps water out of the cabin....MC's are cheap anyways
