hey guys, so I notice today that my master cylinder is leaking inside the car

this steming from filling the clutch reservoir maybe once evry two-three weeks

but my question is this : is there anything I can do to prevent it from leaking without buying a new one or just waiting for it to fail completly???

car shifts like it always has and well doesnt drink a whole lot of fluid just filling it maybe once evry 2-3 weeks driving the car about 100km a day

thx for any advice

 

I wouldn't wait for it to completely fail. If your clutch is working fine, at this point, go ahead and get another master cylinder, soon. Don't wanna take the chance with a leaky cylinder while driving. You might be coming to a stop and not be able to get it out of gear, and BANG. Happened to an ex roommate and i in his 82 Camaro. CLutch or tranny was on it's way out, can't remember which, and he couldn't get it out of gear, properly. We rear ended some dude in a minivan. It sucked. Scared the **** outta us and the dude we hit.

 

replace it.

 

definitely replace it, asap! just had mine go out and was stranded.. sucked! you have to drive the car home in first or second gear.

get an oem honda or beck arnely replacement

 

yeah i'm probably getting a new one soon...priced it today at 123$ CND at one of the nearest dealerships

but the thing is really weird i drove 250km today and she didn't leak at all so i'm puzzled

gonna take it apart next week to have a better look at it and then will probably order in the new one

 

I have the same problem with my master cylinder. Sometimes it needs to be topped up as the car wont get out of gear. I just drive around with brake fluid, works great

 

I always drive with break fluid on board since once my slave pop out and i lost all my break fluid and got stranded...that an a small rachet set...

they dont weight much but can save u a tow call
