442Harv

Have a 70 442,went to the Goodguys this weekend, I noticed my brake light come on just a second couple times. When I got home I opened the MC, and the fluid shot out from the back part of the MC. This is a new, about less than a year, and I replaced one back wheel cylinder, so I thought maybe the other went bad, took wheel off and all looks good. TO hot to be outside today, will look at it later, any one have this happen to them?

Your M/C is leaking internally. The front piston is pushing fluid past the common seal into the rear piston. This is also why the BRAKE light is coming on. New unfortunately doesn't mean good.

Thanks Joe for the input, Do you think putting a kit in it will fix my problem, or do I need a new one? I like the one I got, it has the bleeders on it, and not many do, or do you know who sell them?

Assuming the bore of the M/C is in good shape, yeah new seals will fix the problem.
