brake fluid leaking out bottom of resevoir
On my 91 accord, there is brake fluid leaking out the bottom of the resevoir, where you fill the brake fluid. I have tried tightening down the resevoir, its fastened on w a clamp and flat head bolt. I dont want to overtighten though or it may brake it. Is there a seal in the bottom of the resevoir where the fill bucket sits ontop of the mastr cylinder? I wanted to know from u guys before I take it off.
Also, will I have to bleed the brakes or do any thing additional after I get this fixed? thnx everyone

Do I have to bleed brakes or anything, or can I just refill? There was still fluid in the mast cylind top.

well, I tried fixing it w gasket sealant and it leaked worse, so Im going to go back to step 1 and just try to tightn it down as tight as it will go aftr I get all the gasket off. If it leaks Ill b looking for a replacement cup.
I did drive it for a bit with just a bit of fluid on the brim of the mcylinder, I dont think I messed the brake systm up, but as far as clean fluid, I will flush the systm at a latr time.
I hope I just need to tightn it down more!

thnx for the post, and Im finding out that the mc and the cup are one part- I cant pick up the cup at the parts store without buying thw mc.
Im going to call the honda dealer and see if I can get the cup, if not Ill have to vivist a yard like pull a part.
I found a crack in the cup . I dont know if it was always there or if it happened when I was tightning it down but oh well.
