Hand brake leaking was created by Omaha Rider
There is brake fluid coming out of my handbrake lever. Do I need to replace a seal or something? Is the hand brake sopposed to click when you pull on it? Mine does not. Help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

A rebuild kit for the Master Cylinder will most likely fix it, hard to say until you look at the cylinder bore. If you don't have a brake hone most of the Auto parts stores will have a small 2 or 3 stone hone. It would be the right time to get a kit for the Caliper or Calipers depending if single or dual disc.
Z1 has a great price on rebuild kits, I just put 1 in from them and it is now great. The leaking fluid will damage most paints, and also other surfaces, be careful not to let it set on your paint.

If its dripping it will ruin the paint on the tank or any thing it touches for that matter. Sounds like its time for a rebuild
