Brake master cylinder refill plugs availability.
Does anybody know where I can find new brake master cylinder screw-in refill plugs? You know, the ones that you unscrew to refill or top off the master cylinder with brake fluid. I have one that when the brake is applied, the plug leaks because it doesn't fit tight enough. Thanks

Ditto Roesbury's comments about the vent holes & "burping" of fluid. That's not a problem-- that's a feature! Self-correcting fluid level, and automatic corrosion control. Actually two features in one.
If you do decide to replace the plugs, I'd determine the size & thread and look for a suitable replacement at your local Napa or Ace Airmotive. Plastic plugs are easy to modify with the vent hole-- a very small drill bit or a hot poker will do the trick.
