Hello
I sell repair kit for the "big" piston type.
The problem lies in the construction.
The big sealing rubber is, as the name says, made from rubber.
When you press the lever to the piston, the piston is pressed to the housing.The rubber does not have enough guidance to keep the piston away from the side of the housing.
So the housing wears out during the y<ears ...
The repair kit I have uses an oil seal ring which is more stable than the rubber. Thus the piston is guided better inside the housing...
But if the housing is worn out it will leak even after the repair...
About 80% of the leaking master cylinders stop leaking after the repair...
The other 20% need a replacement of the master cylinder...
