Hi All, The tandem brake fluid (fluif?) reservoir on my '79 Spitfire leaks underneath, where the plastic fits into the metal cylinder. Yuk. I don't see specifically how this seals, from looking at any of the parts catalogs I have. ISTR from when I rebuilt the cylinder two years ago, that there are o-rings there. Has anyone successfully addressed this problem without rebuilding the entire cylinder? I get the feeling (again from memory) that the reservoir o-rings were not in the rebuild kit anyway.
