Master Cylinder - Weeping Front Seal was created by Terry Cockerell
After going through the complete braking system the front seal on the master cylinder is still weeping.
I had honed then polished the master cylinder and wheel cylinders, fitted new rubber seals as well as new pistons. I had made a new master cylinder piston with 0.003" clearance. The push rod had also been aligned. Pressure testing the master cylinder on the bench resulted in no leakage, so after fitting the master cylinder and pressure bleeding the system I am puzzled as to why the front seal is weeping.
Any comments would be appreciated, she is almost ready for the road.
