brake master leaking
looks like I'm leaking fluid right around the seal between the reserve and the master.
Does anyone know the part number for that seal or how to change it? it's doing a number on the engine bay paint.

Philip,
It's been years since I replaced my MC, but there should be an o-ring at the bottom or the reservoir for the seal to the MC. Pull the MC out of the car, drain it and then pull off the reservoir. If you can get the o-ring out, just take it to your local NAPA or Autozone and see if they can match up a replacement.
Make sure to bench bleed it before you put it back on the car.

Long as it's working I'm going to leave it alone, unless I can't find the seals.

You remove the MC from the car. Then remove YOUR existing reservoir and put it on the rebuilt one. IF your MC is leaking, changes are that it is worn out and needs rebored. So, don't take my word for it, just keep on driving it, watch your brake fluid light and quit complaining.
That's all I'll say about this thread !

Well I got my reman MC today and there is no reservoir. It does come with the rubber bushings that connect the MC to the reservoir.
All along you're completely able to follow the parts diagrams I provided to get a part number for that exact bushing.
I guess you can lead a horse to water,...
