Default Ghetto but cheap fix for the master cylinder leak.

While drinking one of the large Jolt sodas the other day I realized the gasket for the lid resemebeled a master cylinder cap gasket. I took it out side and it is the perfect diameter for the cap. I pulled the existing cap gasket and place the blue Jolt gasket under the OE cap gasket. It gives it just enough space for a tight seal. It has been on there for about a week now and no degredation, and I did not remove any fluid from the cylinder, it is still as overfilled as it was from the factory. No leaks so far, and I have been throwin it around pretty hard trying to make it leak. So far so good.

I would have gone to the hardware store for a proper rubber spacer, but I'm just too lazy for that.
