Anyone have any issues with their master cylinder leaking.
I Was vacuming out the car this morning and found fluid on the floor. While checking where it was coming from I depressed the cutch pedal and a piss load of fluid came out of it.
Is there a rebuild kit for this or will I need to buy a new one?

had it covered through my Extended Warranty program, had the same thing happen, with the fluid on the carpet.. one thing i noticed was my parking e-brake light would flicker every so often.

Over a hundered dollars.
I had mine replaced last winter.
I think it's a tricky installation.
Pain in the ass.
