Thanks for your reply. Yes the first two were complete replacements but the new style seal was perfect fit from new so a little time in brake fluid made it just shrink enough to leak, then the next two were new pieces that I had to assemble. Yes I'm using DOT 3 and it is flushed for sure the past half year its probably had 2 gallon through it. And by the way it has a new sequence valve on it too. I thought of replacing the master cylinders just for kicks but it don't fit any technical reasoning. Every machine I have worked on I can reason why the part failed or can find the source of the problem but this one has me to my limits.
Are you rebuilding the slave cyl? We use to rebuild them back in the day but have found installing a new assy is a lilttle bit more $$$ but saves you in the long run. Stupid question. I know you are putting the right brake fluid in ( DOT 3)
But I have seen drivers put anything ( Trans, engine oil......water ) they can find into the brake master cyl and spoil the brake fluid and screw up the rubber seals. you might have to flush the brake lines. Hope this helps.
