The lip seal at the rear of your master cylinder is failing and you need to replace your master cylinder now verses later. 

The risk is the leak will get worse, you will lose too much brake fluid and your brakes will fail. But it's a common service part.

Thanks, Tom Hargrave

Subject: Brake master cylinder weep

Hey Guys,

I think my brake master cylinder has a slight weep. It’s not visibly leaking anywhere it just looks slightly wet we’re it bolts into the booster and it seems like it’s very slowly and gradually making its way down the booster onto the wires and then a little drip. What do you guys think?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks tom
