Brake Fluid Reservoir Leaking
 
Hey guys, I just noticed that my brake fluid reservoir is leaking fluid out of the bottom where it connects to the master cylinder. What's you best way to fix this? Can I buy just the rubber seals that go between the reservoir and MC? How do you remove the reservoir, does it just pull off the master cylinder? Thanks for any advice

New seals are available and it just pulls off. Have rags around there though to catch the spillage. Seals can be a little tough to get seated.

I've never replaced one on any of my Mercedes but I just replaced one on my 94 burb. It was as simple as pull the old one off, put new seals in the MC and push the new reservoir on. I assume it would be mostly the same on a Mercedes. I bled the brakes with new fluid at the same time. It would probably be wise to do that too.

I have an extra one I could sell you. It currently is attached to the MC but I could take it off easily along with the seals. Where in MN are you? I'm in Stillwater.

Awesome, thanks for the help! I've been putting 5-600 miles per week on the old girl for about the last 9 months and this is the first problem it's given me :)
