Hi Edwin,
Most propably one of the rubber pistons is leaking. The MC should be
dismanteled and new pistons should be put in.
Before this a thorough check of the inside of the MC is needed.
Check for pitted inside - bottom of the MC bore is most expected spot).
Check for sharp particles inside the bore.
Have it cleaned thoroughly and reassemble again.
Good luck.
Cheers,
Hans

Subject: Brake MC leakage
Hello Folks,
My brake MC is leaking between the MC, itself, and the fluid reservoir. I
attempted to bleed the MC when I installed a new one some years ago. The
brakes have always been spongy so I need to re-bleed it. However, there
is no use in doing this all over again if the fluid is just going to leak
out. How can I get that reservoir to seat on the MC? BTW, this is for a
'77 B.
Thanks in advance,
Edwin
