tripping brake fluid

Post by dazwatson »

Hi,

I,ve got brake fluid dripping at the base of my brake pedal, to start with i thought it was the master cylinder behind the steering wheel, but after further inspection i've found another small cylinder right behind the brake pedal.

Can't find a replacement one on the JK site, does anyone know if & where i can get one from???

Thanks

Daz

It might be the clutch master cylinder that's leaking. If it is, Brickwerks sell them. This recent post might help:

Are you sure the fluid is coming from the Clutch cylinder?
The brake master cylinder will leak into the brake server so check it is not weeping out of the server casing like mine was.
