John:
Sounds as though your o-rings are shot. You need to disassemble
the PDWA
and rebuild it with new o-rings and copper washers. All the bits are
available from
a good hardware store.

Subject: PDWA leak
Hi everyone, I just finished rebuilding front and rear brakes and
replaced all hoses. After bleeding, I'm getting a leak up though the
brake switch on the PDWA. It feels as though the piston is centered and
the fluid is only coming from the rear brake(smaller) portion of the
master cylinder. Im soo glad I switched to silicone fluid! Would this
be an "O" ring problem or something else? It didn't leak before the
rebuild, but at that time the cylinder wasn't centered either. Any
ideas would be greatly appreciated. TIA
