Non Pressure Leaks


Non Pressure Leaks
Any reduced fluid volume in the brake master cylinder reservoir condition may be caused by two types of pressure external leaks.
Type 1: An external leak may occur at the master cylinder reservoir cap because of incorrect positioning of gasket and cap. Reposition cap and gasket.
Type 2: An external leak may occur at the reservoir mounting seals. Repair such a leak by installing new seals and make sure that the reservoir retaining pin is correctly installed.
Type 3: An external leak may occur in the manual transmission clutch operating system. For additional information, refer to Transmission and Drivetrain.
