brake and idle problem, 1991 700

The master cylinder is leaking right below the fluid resevoir or where the resevoir connects to the Master cylinder. Is there a gasket I can replace or does the whole thing need to be replaced?

Next, when the car start in the morning (cold), the engine idles up to about 1200rpm, then dives down and stalls. I can correct it by keeping my foot on the pedal for ~15 seconds or so. Is my idle air control valve not working correctly, how can I check this? My car also had the rex-regina injection system, unfortunately. Any suggestions are appreciated.
thanks,
jordan

sounds like your air contol valve is almost dead. I experienced exact same problems with my 86 740 after buying new valve car idled perfectly and never died again.
p.s. do not buy used one they can die fast. to test it when car is running dissconect it and if nothing happens it's dead
