Default My crx leaks brake fluid!HELP!!

I have a 91 crx which i've done stainless braided brake lines, brembo rotors, hawk pads, valvoline syn brake fluid, and a fresh 91 ex master cyl, along with new rebuilt rotors. Im having issues of brake fluid seeping out from between the master and booster under really hard turns. Am i just in need of a fresh rubber gasket ring that goes inside the booster where the master cyl shaft goes in? Or would a cyl brace cure this? I was even thinking of using a little bit of hondabond on the edges of the master cyl when i put it back together. Any idea?

I'm inclined to agree on this.The only thing that gasket does is keep metal from metal-not made to keep brake fluid from leaking.
