Issue installing 929 Master Cylinder
So I ordered the a reman 929 master cylinder from Mazda Comp and had it installed 2 days ago. It looks like it is leaking where the reservoir mates to the master as illustrated in the attached pics. Notice the slight blue residual brake fluid accumulated.
It is not overflow brake fluid. I cleaned the area with brake fluid and went out for a drive. Checked it this morning and I see the residual brake fluid again at that joint.
Anyone ever experience this?
From what I can tell the reservoir is just pushed in and is held in place by some pressure fitting. Would this be a problem with the master cylinder or a problem with the reservoir?
Thanks for the help.

I got a mazda reman master cylinder from Malloy and it had the same problem. But i had already sent back my original master cylinder. I took a super big zip tie and tied the reservoir to the master cylinder. And the leak stopped. Its been about a year and its still leak free. Not the best solution, but i did not have a choice. Mazda does nto sell the seals. I think the company that mazda uses to reman the master cylinders are using the wrong size seals.

Thanks gents. I haven't had a chance to do anything further with it. The leak is very small and the car is driveable. I'll get around to it after Turkey Day.
On another note, I popped my hood yesterday after I pulled into the garage and heard a hissing sound from the master/booster area... Got to do figure out what that was.
