Brake Fluid RFeservoir Leak- '86 245 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be grandad on  Sun Aug 20 12:54 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Well, my pedal felt a bit mushy when I got home I saw that the back half of my reservoir was empty. I filled it up and pumped the brakes a few times, then checked all around the car for leaks. The leak was between the reservoir and the cylinder, the reservoir felt loose and the rubber seal looked bad.

It is possible to just replace the seals and keep the reservoir, or should I just replace the whole cylinder? I don't plan on keeping this car much longer, so I really want to limit the money I spend on it. Thanks in advance.
