Hey Dave Houser
Silicone is your friend. Don't be fooled by cheap DOT 3 or 4 GT LMA
imitations. Your seals probably are swollen. The fix is really easy. Add
additional
cork or other gasket material between the push rod assembly cover plate and
the main body of the master cylinder. This will give the piston the extra room
to clear the fluid return hole in the master cylinder. You may have to
experiment with number of gaskets to obtain enough clearance. BTW, you can
make
your own gaskets easily using the cover plate as a template. This method has
held up for over 6 years now on my A coupe. Since we have the same car, should
work really well on yours as well.
Ta!
