    Default brake master cylinder

    my brake master cylinder in leaking out of the rear seal so it needs changing.

    simply swap the valves over to the new cylinder if you buy one, but as ML says, just get a seal kit & change the seals, its cheaper & only takes a few minutes to do

    I meant the seal between the master cylinder and the load sensing values
