After returning from Okteenerfest the car sat a couple weeks, and after taking it to Cars and coffee I parked it again but backed in and a few days later pulled out and noticed 2 small puddles , front at rear- cleaned it up them parked the car , then a few days later checked again and it’s for sure under front.
I was initially worried that I had a front crank seal when I thought it was from the back, and I am releaved that it’s not from the motor, I did all that last year and am proud to say it’s been a leak free motor since then, and I didn’t want to pull the motor or trans. BUT this is brake fluid, and I can’t really explain why this would suddenly spring A leak (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . I replaced all brake lines and the 19mm master cylinder about 3-4 years ago, no leaks no issues since then. And I don’t have loss of pressure on brakes so I am assuming it’s the supply line so I guess I will be pulling the belly pan to investigate. Will post more info when I get a look just wonder why just now? I know the washer is there under the supply line connection, just weird this started now??? Phil |

Google.... Or I used duck duck go now, but search for 911 master cylinder rebuild kit. tons of them. surprised we haven't gotten the "it's your safety" comment. But it would be nice to have one on the shelf for next time.

But it would be nice to have one on the shelf for next time. 95$ here:https://www.aasesales.com/products/da3c-b52...e4626&_ss=r I started to google that right after posting that but did run across Pelican and Stoddards , some sites I cant access here at work, so I have to wait until I get home, but it did seem a bit pricy for what you are looking at to rebuild these. its interesting that my first MC failure had no leaking but internally no longer was able to hold pressure, and I think this is the most common failure. This one failed by leaking out with out actually loosing any pressure or braking function so I didn't have a clue it was happening until the big puddle appeared in the garage floor. - pictures tonight! Mark, if you do a rebuild kit I would think this would pay off over time . I have no idea where the parts in these other kits are sourced from in other words, where are they and by whom are they manufactured? AASE, Stoddard, Pelican, and AA have the kits but who makes the components? I would like to rebuild this one that failed and have one on the shelf just in case of future failure of this new unit I am installing. |
