Looks like it's time for a new master cylinder on my old airhead boxer been leaking for a while & considering the bike's over 30 years old it's not worth trying to overall it.
So bit the bullet & ordered a new one today + a few other bits ( £175) !
Once that's fitted next job is gearbox out to fit a new output shaft seal that looks like it's leaking .

Re: Master cylinder
I was trying to get my head around the picture , until I realised that the reservoir, body and lid are resting on a plastic freezer box that the fluid is draining into. I rebuilt one of these on a 1978 RT boxer last year, it all cleaned up very well, bearing in mind that the bike had been off the road for 15 years , with no prep. The brake fluid had all turned to jelly!
