That fixed that problem but I had a leak at the master cylinder cap after a few a short while. it was beading really well then I saw this brake fluid dripping from the front I closed off the beader and came back around front a to see it coming out from around the cap. now theres a story behind this I put the new gasket on the car and tried to use the old one on the bleeder cap but as I cut the center out of it it ripped. I put rtv on it glueing it to the cap and let it sit over night but it still failed. I bought another gasket used a very sharp knife and cut a hole just large enough for the brass fitting to fit though I put the O ring on the inside with some rtv on it to help seal it off hoping this would do away with any leaks from the air blead circuits built into the cap to allow air to get on top of the seal as your brake fluid goes down inside the master cylinder. Older type caps just had a small hole in the top ours has two little valleys on either side of the cap. I don't have pix but you can pull the gasket out and see these little channels in the cap for yourself.I haven't tried it again work and chrismas coming up but I' will let you know how it works soon. wish me luck.</blockquote>
