That’s all brake fluid on the ground.

Very empty.

Poured out from under the flange.

Welp, not a bad lifespan for a 39-year old cylinder, right?

Not bad! I mean, bad that it failed and puked brake fluid everywhere, of course. But not bad that it lasted longer than either I or (presumably) you have been alive!

Whoops

Should be a pretty inexpensive part (then again who knows with old japanese stuff), and a great excuse to fully flush/bleed the brakes!

I have 3 in my garage. Wouldn’t be worth the cost of shipping to the states though.

I t failed while parked at your place? If it’s gotta fail that’s the place to have it happen - that little truck is looking out for you.

My clutch master has a leak in my Nissan, and it takes brake fluid so I feel your pain. I have the new part, but I don't have the necessary motivation to fix it. And it currently won't go into gear...

By which I mean, "Why is that, sir?"
