Default leaky leaky brake resoviour

So I noticed today while swapping out the check valve that I'm leaking brake fluid and it appears that the resoviour is loose and can move and it looks like a slow leak from here.

Is this repairable?

I've never worked on this part of the brake system..

Yep, rebuild kits are available. Its easy and cheap(er).


The bleed procedure is honestly harder than rebuilding it.

How difficult is it? I've blead the system for the ABS block, I know you can't have any air in the master cylinder but how hard is that to achieve? I don't have the money for a new one at the moment -.-

Zebra, it's super easy to do. I just rebuilt mine this winter. Took about 40 minutes start to finish. There is a good write-up on here with pictures that'll walk you through it.

It really was harder to do the brake bleed than it was to switch out the reservoir. Which means it's really easy to do.

Well I'm glad it's doable. I'm pushing through a few projects right now so hopefully I can get to it within a week or so.
