I installed a new Raybestos MC with new brake lines - and a persistent leak on our 67 Barracuda. Now, if I let the car sit several days brake fluid is on the bottom of the MC and dripping off - which messed up the new paint under the hood until I wrapped a rag around it.
My problem is that I cannot locate the source of the leak. It does not appear to be getting past the MC cap, and I think I finally have the lines not leaking.
However, I have noticed the “bolt/plug” on the bottom-middle of the MC. I have looked and cannot find a MC cross-section to refer to, so I have no idea what that bolt/threaded plug is, or what it’s function is. Can I tighten it? Can I remove it and see if it has a missing or failing washer?
Any ideas what it is?
Thanks,
Bob
