The reservoir is half empty a week after filling it. So, it appears I need a new master cylinder. Does anyone have recommendations for a specific brand for a replacement master cylinder?

The brake fluid will mess up the diaphragm in the vacuum booster.

That's a good price on a good brand. 89 SWB, V-6 5SPD, OME Shocks, 16.5X37's, 2"BL, SR axle, Gen2 brakes, Lincoln w/Superwinch Re: dramatic brake fluid leak [Re: nvmonty] #1106149 04/01/21 01:25 AM Joined: Aug 2020 Posts: 191 North Florida T Trailmonkey Wheeler I may need to check mine now. Paint eat off and bubbled up just like yours, fluid level stays the same so I thought someone spilled it on the booster, but it may just be a slight/slow leak. 91 (Gen1) Monty, 3.0L V6, Auto 4 Door.
