My 1994 rt/10 was dripping a small amount of brake fluid from the master cylinder. It's not a lot, but just a few drops. It's coming from the round canister where the thing splits. (It looks like a torque converter of an automatic transmission..I don't know the correct term for it.) Is this a problem with the 1994? Is this expensive? i ust had the rear pads put on, so i don't know if forcing the fluids back when turning the rear pistons back in caused this. any idea's? Thanks!

Ok ab,

First things first. You say you just had the pads replaced? Check and see if the fluid is over the max line. May be leaking out over the top slowly.

And clean up the stuff that's already there because it will eat away at your paint. (Take it from experience! Yikes!)

Yeah JonB..you hit it on the nail. It's leaking on the seams. Not a ton, just a tiny bit. How long do you think I have before I need to replace? I promise you I will buy it from you. I don't have headers...but my brake fluid looks brown so i guess it will need to be flushed too.
