I just chased this goose, my brake master was leaking past the seal at the vacuum assist. I took the master out and apart to find an amazing few pieces, it looked like two new rubber and I would be on my way. I didn't have much luck with this, though.. I went to my local auto parts store to see if I could get a rebuild or new master cylinder. The master is made by GIRLING, who is in cahoots with Lucas on some level (great..). The parts place was not able to find a girling-suggested replacement part, and said that there was not a rebuild kit available ( to them) so they were just about unable to help. Another store said that rebuild kits are expensive, and aren't worth dealing with for the cost of a new unit. I don't know if I believe that, how much could a few rubber pieces cost? Perhaps the kits also comes with a new plunger internal part as well. Then they said that no one really rebuilds because the cylinder would have to be honed to make sure that the plunger would make a good seal, and most places don't do that becuase it's not a very thick wall to be honing. After this, I decided that it just wasn't worth the trouble of chasing around the block a few times. Grady and I'm sure other parts vendors have the new parts and they're guaranteed to fit and not leak. I figure for the pain of having to fix it, i'd might as well fix it correctly- the brakes are a pretty important function in the car, and a brake fluid leak will severely damage the frame if left unattended- first by gelling the epoxy, then rusting. You can probably get a new brake master at your local auto store, a GIRLING cross reference number was on the DML just last week I think.. good luck.
