91 s10blazer brake problems

im leaking from a brake line but that doesnt bother me as much as the fluid coming out the back of the master cylinder i put a new gasket on because that was shot but i can not get the cap to close wout the gasket going down into the fluid causing more to spill out

A leaking brake line doesnt bother you ????????
Where do you drive so I know to keep my family off of the roads!!!!!!!!!

Amen!!!!!!!

no what i meant was that i know im gonna get that fixed but i would like to know how to fix that new gasket so its not doin what the old one is doing

Are you talking about the insert in the lid of the master cylinder? OR, when you say "back of the master cylinder" do you mean where it bolts to the booster?

If it the rubber in the lid, unless you have the wrong one, it should snap on. You did push the two diaphragms back into place, didn't you?

Yip, push the rubber diaphrams sticking out up into the rubber part again.

They will push up until they are flush.

i did that and it still blows back out

Is he talking about the master cylinder lid of the very back of the master where it bolts onto the booster.
The master lid leaking is a common problem on a few years . If its the lid it need a new rubber gasket.
And make sure all 4 corners snap down or it will leak.

s10blazerman4x4,

Take a picture of what you are talking about and end this confusion.

Sounds like the master cylinder is too full.

but its not its actually only half filled cuz it keeps leakin out the back because the new and the old gasket under the cap kept getting pushed into the fluid which sent it out the back and im not leaking from the line which i said above i found its running down the frame rails and such onto the tranny

Listen carefully here, If the master cylinder is only half full and the rubber gasket is pushing the fluid out the top, what's wrong here?

Read the previous posts. Have you pushed the diaphragm's of the rubber back into place? Is the resevoir still seated into the master cylinder?

Just snapping the lid on will NOT push fluid out unless you are doing it with the diaphragms extended.

Hold on a minute, you said "old and new gasket", you do have only one gasket on the lid, don't you?

Push the diaphram back up into the lid.

Push the diaphram back up into the lid.

Push the diaphram back up into the lid.

Push the diaphram back up into the lid.

Underneath the lid it should be flat with nothing sticking down into the front and rear resovoirs.

Take a better picture of what you are talking about instead of that picture which shows us nothing.

its not lettin me post the picture but the gasket is still being pushed into the reservoir when the lid is pushed on i tried everything above and nothin works

The two rubber things that stick out can be pushed neatly back into the lid.

Try it.

ok i pushed the rubber diaphrams down and the gasket seems to have snapped into place ill find out tomm after i drive its leakin out again

You pushed them down where?

You push the diaphrams up into the cap.

Nevermind, I give up.

no down into the fluid and the gasket snapped into place when i snapped those 2 rubber diaphrams up as when i bought the new gasket it was up it wouldnt lock so i pushed them down and it seems to be ok
