Pardon me if I get serious for a moment...
NEVER, EVER be satisfied with a botched up repair to _ANY_ part of your
hydraulic system. If the thing is leaking, fix it or get it fixed. Period.
End of serious rant.
As for the DOT4 vs DOT5, I stick with DOT4 for a number of reasons, the
higher dry boiling point is one. But I can also recommend using a two-part
urethane type paint in the engine bay to thwart the possibility of the
paint peeling when fluid spills on it. It works fine on the race car, and
I change fluid frequently (with the predictable spills that go along with
2 AM garage sessions). No paint-peel in over 4 years of trying. :-)
To the original poster... I had the same problem that you experienced
with the reserviuoir not sealing to the MC assembly. I too discovered that
the sealing o-rings were sized improperly. I have noticed that some kits
come with a thinner o-ring for that purpose. This happens to be a case
where it's worth paying the extra money to get the right parts. DON'T SHOP
ON PRICE ALONE.
