    I got the break fluid leaking. I checked the mech they suggested
    replace MC right away. I waited for other cheap deal and I got
    the cheap deal by replacing a rebuilt one. It was OK two day.
    No leaking appear. Then suddenly I looked at the underneath
    of car I saw the big leaking. I checked the break fluid level
    in two days not driving it and losing more fluid than before I
    installed the rebuilt one. I was lucky to find out that the break
    reservior is cracked at the bottom. Honda dealer does not carry
    break reservior that I must order MC and reservior together in really
    high price. I decided to get a used part from junk-yard, and I got it
    while searching many junk-yards. But there is
    a little different from cracked reservior to junk-yard one that
    junk-yard reservior does not need a reservior seal. The seal
    was built into it. I installed it reservior into MC. currently
    no leaking for two days. Is not unually that break reservior
    can be cracked and leaking out fluid?

    Yeah, same over here. The BRAKE master cylinder and reservoir are a kit.



    Then you're fine, provided the MIN line on the new BRAKE fluid reservoir is
    above the central divider in the MC.



    If you overtighten the BRAKE fluid reservoir, it will crack.
