brake reservoir leaking - PLEASE HELP

[aiki99]

how do I remove the brake reservoir to replace the gaskets without removing the master cylinder.....It's leaking under the reservoir from the front where it joins the master cylinder so I'm assuming the gasket in the front is leaking...Was just replaced by DMC Florida and they only issued me a 30 day warranty and its been 6 months with 38 miles since replacement.....PLEASE HELP !!!

I had the DMCH brake master leaking at the joints to the reservoir from the first day. in the end I had to re-use the two black gasket from the original 30 years old master O_O

To remove the reservoir you remove the brake fluid and then you have to remove the pins. To remove the pins you have to remove the cotter keys. You have to pry the reservoir out of the seals. It may just be the seals are not installed correctly. I am not sure if you can buy *just* the seals. If the reservoir is overfilled it may seem like it is leaking.

Make shore the reservoir is install in the right direction, If you remove it you see that on one side the small pipe's are closer to the side.
This is the side that neat to be near the brake booster, if it is install the wrong way it hit the brake booster and it will leak.

Here are a few photos of the reservoir correctly installed on the master. You can see the two cotter pins you'll need to remove so you can slide out the two main pins that hold the reservoir to the master. If the reservoir is installed backwards it will probably leak.
