Small brake master cylinder/booster leak
 
Hey guys
So my 86 FC has a small leak under the brake booster and it causes my fluid reservoir to drain about 1/2" every couple weeks or so. It's not a big leak, but it's still a leak. Any recommendations on going about fixing it? I really don't want to have to replace the thing unless I really have to. Thanks again

Your master cylinder is probably bad, replacing it isn't hard

Get it fixed! Its not hard.

Brake fluid loves to eat paint, the last thing you want (other than your brakes failing due to your small leak becoming a big one!) is to start rust issues. Also check inside the footwell under your carpet too. When my clutch master was leaking it was dribbling down the firewall in the engine bay and ended up making a mess under the carpet inside.

Oh Okay. I just know on my jetta it's a big job haha. I'll look into it thanks! And as for the leaking under the carpet, I'll look at that too
Thanks guys!
