Re: C-20 Master Cylinder leaking

I had a similar issue once..... my memory isn't helping much but I think it had to do with the cap not sitting down all the way. Seems like it took some minor trimming to get it to seal properly.
Sorry I'm not more help, with any luck someone else will jump in here.

I had a similar problem and ended up re-arcing the wire retention hoops to load the cap tighter.
