The brake master cylinder is leaking-your best bet is replace it-brake problems are dangerous

The master cylinder rear seal is leaking, normally this is due to wear or corrosion in the bore, it will be cheaper to fit a new master cyl as ally cylinders must be re sleeved and not honed out as the older cast cylinders.
