Anyone have experience with leaking brake fluid from the master cylinder cap? I don't have any abnormalities when braking, just happen to notice there's brake fluid leaking. The cylinder cap was loose - usually it's a real bitch to take it off but today it comes off easily.

I changed my masters twice. Bodo punya design i think from the heat, the cap warps, the cap becomes oval shape. Get brake cleaner in mr DIY and spray all over it.
Brake fluid will eat paint

Do you notice it will become more serious? such as happened more frequent or take longer time to start? At least some indicator or warning to me.  biggrin.gif
Ya, bro. This month spent a lot, and i didn't expect the price for the starter so high.  shocking.gif
The refurbish i mean here is there are few shop can service the starter by changing internal part at KL, how good after that, I have no idea. Now will monitor and see how frequent it happen.

No pt buying refurbished parts when proton parts are cheap, and refurb one they swapped worn parts out but that doesnt mean internally other parts are ok.
Just need to find it urself in Segambut, or a few spare part shops.
My APM original one is only RM300. Alternator is the expensive one almost 600 APM.

I scared brake cleaner will be bad for the plastic parts. I just give a good wipe with a cloth rag. For the brake fluid that got onto the lower arm, I spray brake cleaner but at some part it just won't come off.

Soaked too long. And it wont be bad for plastic parts, it evaporates almost instantly.

Alright, let me check with normal Workshop. Can't identify is Alternator related?
Confirm its not alternator. Either battery too weak, connection to starter loose or starter worn out

yeah, once crank it start few second then slowly macam dying ada engine light then mati liao need to recrank then back to normal.

Mine does happen, reported by alot of campro owners. I experienced twice in 10 years it died while driving. Not exactly dangerous but people would panic haha
It can also mean u have vacumm leaks, valves not seating properly etc. Mine hates hot start, cold start damn good.

How you do it? Can do alone? Open up the bonnet can easily reach?

Need to learn or emergency.
