Depending on how old your car is, you might as well replace it. I'm pretty sure that if you're leaking brake fluid from the master, the only thing you can do is replace or rebuild it. Its a really easy job to do.

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
Although I haven't personally tried to replace them, the shop manual shows two bushings between the reservoir and the metal assembly that should be able to be replaced, instead of replacing the whole brake master cyl assembly.
Of course if you have cracks in the plastic replacing the bushings would make little difference.
