Brake problem

Gday Guys
Just swapped my brake pad on my gq shorty (disc all round) and i made the mistake of not draining reserveor while fitting and of course had some spillage. But while i was cleaning the fluid up i noticed when wiping the reserveor it would move abit away from the mater cylinder causing brake fluid to seep out from where the 2 round seals sit. I bleed the brakes fine but is this the start of the seals wearing? I have never noticed this before it could have been like this for a while and i never noticed it. If it is stuffed it should be a cheap exersice of swapping the seals out shouldn't it??? :roll:

Cheers Chris

its not a really big problem to worrie about, just keep an eye on it, if it starts to leek lots of fluid though the seals then get them replaced, :D

just finally took the shortie for a test drive with the new brakes they feel shit and when pressed down hard start to grind what the hell is the go there. I am pretty sure they are bleed correct. I think it might be time to upgrade to a new GU :x
