Brake Problems! New Master Cylinder?
Hey guys I moved the 930 out of the garage and saw a bunch of blue fluid. I checked under the hood and saw this:
 I seems to be leaking from the plastic or rubber piece at the bottom of the hose. My question is can I just replace the hose, plastic piece, and rubber or do I have to replace the whole master cylinder? BTW is this common?

I don't know about 930's, but my cars have had band clamps on those hoses. Why not get some millimeter hose and try it and see if the MC stays dry before yanking it out?

Rubber bushings in top of MC could be "rotted out"; I'd check these first as they're much cheaper than a new MC.

Just went thru this on my car. Careful when pulling the hoses off- The little plastic pieces are fairly fragile (ask me how I know). As stated, could be the rubber pieces, but I figured that if the rubber on top is rotten, the rubber inside the MC couldn't be far behind so I went ahead and replaced the MC(which came with new rubber) and supply hoses.
