What Happened
The master cylinder is a crucial part that helps control your vehicle's brakes. In certain situations, the seal inside the master cylinder can fail and leak brake fluid, which is used to help stop your car.
Risk if Unfixed
If the master cylinder starts leaking brake fluid, you could experience reduced braking power, making it harder to stop your vehicle. In a worst-case scenario, this could lead to a vehicle crash.
