Okay so my JDM FC (Turbo) is leaking brake fluid from the rubber grommets right underneath the reservoir. After some searching it is apparent that this is a very common problem.

It doesn't leak much when the car warms up as the heat seems to be expanding the rubber and sealing it better but it's been parked in a cold garage the last couple of weeks and has leaked from "Max" to the "Min" Line.

Current situation: I have a new USDM brake master cylinder for the Naturally Aspirated rx7. The reservoir tank is a different shape and one of the outlets is on the wrong side as the JDM BMC is located on the right side of the car.

With what I have, I have come up with the following options.

Make the USDM bmc work by running a rubber line to the outlet.

Remove the rubber grommets from the USDM and stick them in my current BMC.
- Can this be done without removing the actual cylinder?
-- in other words, can I just drain the reservoir, pull the reservoir out, replace grommets, stick reservoir back in? Seems like the easiest solution.
---> Can anyone point me to where I can purchase the grommets so I don't have to resort to pulling the ones in the new BMC?

Last ditch effort: I try to zip tie the reservoir down tighter to the cylinder. I am probably going to try this while I figure out a long term solution.


What do you guys think? Any other suggestions/ideas would be greatly appreciated!
