Title: 39 P-8 Master cylinder filler plug leaks at the top
Post by: DENNIS P NOLAN on May 23, 2023, 08:10:17 PM
Hello POC Family
I replaced the master cylinder a few years ago- the filler plug leaks at the top- if you screw it in it would go into the cylinder-
is there something I can wrap around the threads that can/will stop the fluid from coming out??
Thanks
Dennis

Mine has a brass washer on the plug. Never had a leak. Good luck!

You can try teflon tapeon the threads of the plug. You could also go to the hardsare store and find a pipe plug with the same thread. After all, the master cylinder is just plumbing.
