I know those things are pretty, but they are a leak waiting to happen, I hate brake fluid on stuff. If it was anything but brake fluid I would suggest the standard rusty tank cure--an internal coating. But I'm not sure what coating would be certain to hold brake fluid. You pull the whole thing off, block off the outlet with a fitting and pressurize the tank while it's full of colored water and find your leak, then solder it. An easy way to pressurize the tank is with a pressure bleeder system. If you can't find a cap to fit you could make one with a rubber stopper. You only need a pound or so of pressure to turn a dribble leak into a spurt. Especially if the fluid is thin like water. <br><div><div>On Sep 24, 2008, at 8:40 AM, <a href="mailto:colordog.1@earthlink.net">colordog.1@earthlink.net</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Has anyone tested for leaks or repaired the stock metal canister that holds the brake fluid on a TR3?
