Shit.  I know how you’re feeling.  I’m looking at a potentially expensive head light repair out of warranty.

Seems to be the only logical solution at this point?

A V8 swap probably should have been done from the factory. Oh well, that's what the aftermarket is for.

Skip the SBC shenanigans and go straight to the witch doctor for some voodoo magic.

...a Master Cylinder should not be leaking on a car with only 41,000 miles and NOT be covered under warranty....

My Accent has 102,000 miles and none of it leaks a drop...if Hyundai can do that on a cheap econobox, Ford should be able to do it on a comparatively expensive sports car...

Hell if I know. If it was brake pads, or rotors, or a clutch or calipers, I’d completely understand. But I can’t imagine how or why anyone would consider a master cylinder a wear part. Even if it was, it shouldn’t go bad this soon. Mechanical defects happen sometimes (my original cylinder head), but I can understand why I had to fight for that one.

This one though....

Hell, the 924's near 40 year old and almost 53,000 mile master cylinder is working great still!

You have a 3 year / 36K bumper to bumper and a 5 year / 60K powertrain warranty.

The brake master cylinder going out is weird, but it is only part of the regular 3 year warranty.

41k miles is honestly disappointing for a master cylinder

i’ve yet to replace mine on the Lancer at 16 years/713k km
