RE: Leaky BMC reservoir grommets

["Livolsi, Stephane" <livols1@investorsgroup.com>]

as long as nobody presses the brake pedal while the reservoir is off you
should be ok.  I had this happen to me too.  At first the dealer tried
telling me I would have to buy a whole new master cylinder, upon which I
promptly told him to look further.  He finally got them at $20 Canadian
for each one!!
