Ths is a US based site and we don't have that vehicle here so I doubt we can be much help.

Basics: Is it leaking brake fluid to what boosts it? No - most here wouldn't be able to know the exact system layout but still most master cylinders are boosted or say "power assisted" but even if not if leading towards firewall end or anywhere about the master cylinder except for a line going to it point hard to needing a new master cylinder.


Some places will sell "rebuilt" ones and I suggest getting a new one. If not certain how to do it many are not that hard. Can't think of one that doesn't require what we call "bench bleeding" a unit before installing one. Basically that means bleeding one on a bench vice.


Beware that it means being able to bleed system out as per the particular vehicle's procedures and that bleeder screws do in fact work or the problem continues till all is well.


ARE YOU TAKING THIS ON AND UP TO IT OR SENDING THIS JOB OUT? I/we can discuss procedures for bench bleeding sometimes that comes with a new master cylinder and can't say at all for this car or where you get parts. Personally not a great part to save money on and buy locally.


Use only approved fluid for the vehicle and never re-use any wasted or that has been in it,
