probably your master cylinder, most people just get a new one from a junkyard, id just check the tubing coming right out of the master cylinder and look for any obvious cracks/leaks.

 

MASTER CYLINDER?? wheres that?

 

Oh Boy! It's where you add your brake fluid!

 

Umm, it's the thing you pour brake fluid into

 

Dude, you mean most people get an old one from a junkyard

Seriously, if you suspect the master cylinder, get a rebuild kit or get it rebuilt - only get a second hand unit if you need to stay mobile whilst the old one is getting rebuilt. Is really dangerous fitting second hand master cylinders & wheel cylinders unless you rebuild them first - any good shop mechanic will tell you that.

 

remans available or new if you prefer.
