    The reservoir cap seal was not positioned properly and trapped under the cap.


    Possibly, some debris and moisture got inside as there were several bits held in the filter.

    Managed to find some time to work on the NSX today.


    As mentioned a while ago, instead of cleaning and overhauling the heavily leaked/corroded master cyl, decided to replace it with new one including the reservoir, filter, cap and the fluid level sensor.

    Parts for the Rear calliper overhaul.

    You must avoid twisting the brake line so always connect it at the calliper side first and then put some alignment marking to assist the connection at the brake pipe side.
