R32 Brake Master Cylinder Help!

[DREW32]

hi there , just removed the master cylinder as i was told it might need a rebuild from our brake and steering workshop ,was leaking slightly but couldnt see where ,anyway after i took it off i noticed the rear seals were all nice and dry, but noticed inbetween the front outlet and the second outlet there was a hole that had been plugged up with some black silicon and seemed to be leaking from there , could any one tell me what this hole is for as now i dont see the point of a $200 rebuild if it is only leaking out of this hole what is it for? please help somebody <<<<<the brake and steering shop told me he didnt know what to do with it great ehh so called specialists!!!

i wouldnt want to be mucking around with something as crucial on your car as brakes... you can pick up a second hand one for less that 2 hundred bucks but theres nothing to say that that will go aswell... id be looking at spending the 200 bucks and not worrying about it leaking for another 10 years

yup...your an idiot if your gonna go cheap on such an important part of the car. Fully working brakes are actually rather integral to the slowing down and stopping motion when driving a car believe it or not....ha who would have thought?

If they're not sure and you dont know jack...safest option is to get it done. If it were me, which it isnt, if i had it off and it wasnt leaking i would still get it rebuilt. Ya never know.

Put a pic of the master cyl up, them we maybe able to tell you what it is . Are you sure its not the bleeder hole? Some one may have taken the bleed nipple off and then blocked it, if thats the case you will need it to bleed it when you re-install it .
