MG'ers,
My cars will leak (and sometimes dump) hydraulic fluid from the brake, clutch
master cylinders, and clutch slave cylinders when sitting in the garage
regardless of the age of the component. It seems I am always rebuiding or
replacing the units. Many times if I pump the pedal and drive the problem
disappears.
I use DOT 3/4 brake fluid, and was wondering if a switch to DOT 5 would
minimize the leaking? I think the real answer is to drive the cars more.
Thanks in advance.
