Hey folks,

So I have an ongoing problem with my 82 240D. A year and a half ago, I noticed the clutch master was leaking- so replaced it and reverse bled from the front brake bleeder valve. It worked great for awhile, then got softer and softer...repeat repeat repeat.

Yesterday, after bleeding it again (I have to do it every other month or so, and I still can't get the car in reverse and sometimes have to shut it off to shift)...I noticed brake fluid leaking out the top of the master where the push rod goes in. Oh. I had tried to replace the slave a while back, thinking that was the problem but it wouldn't bleed (perhaps cuz a new part was too stiff to hold pressure if there was a leak up the line, I realize now).

The master is a relatively brand new part and the leak is certainly coming out of the top by the push rod (not a cracked line). What the f should I do with this? My tranny is definitely suffering and winter is coming on and I have no garage! Ahhh!

Thanks...you guys always save my tail.

Deanna
