Default Master cylinder leak

Looks like my MC is leaking right where it bolts up to the booster. Does it have a gasket where it butts up to the booster (that might be missing). Or can that be sealed by other methods. Cheers,

Unless it's leaking at the reservoir seal, or cap, you've got failed seals in the M/C causing your rear circuit to lose pressure. Don't bother rebuilding it, just replace it. The fluid can get into the booster and destroy it too if you let it go long enough.

If you want the best deal around on a new GM/Delco unit then thepartsladi on eBay has an excellent price!

I got mine there for my '88 and was very happy with the quick shipping and low price for a new in box not reman unit!
