Hi,

 

When tracing a leak from my brake reservoir I noticed the fitting between
the inner and outer can was loose (TR3A link to pic below).  I took it apart
to clean it and found the rubber seal between the cans was badly
deteriorated.

 

I can probably make a new gasket out of blank rubber but I'll probably get a
better seal with some sort of gasket-in-a-tube,  I'm running DOT5 silicone
fluid so would a silicone based compound be safe?
