I have a brake fluid leak near my resevoir on one of the steel lines that comes out and goes to the distribution block. i am just wondering what is involved in fixing this.

Its leaking right where the arrow is pointing in the pic:

any help is appreciated.

Did you try tightening it?
 






Yeah it didnt want to tighten any more. So maybe i need a new seal in there?
 






IIRC, that's a pressure limiting valve. AFAIK, it's only available with the master cylinder from the dealership, or last I heard anyways.

Good luck!

Well i guess i will just have to take it in and see what they say. Unless someone else comes in with some more info.
 






Just an update. That pressure limiting valve was available just by itself. I had it changed at midas, had to wait for the part to come in from the states though.

Part was 80 bux canadian, Working great now.
