It's not that bad. Just gotta bleed it well and don't over tighten the hard lines. If I'm not mistaken, you can put in a m/c from a 2500 which has a larger bore = push more fluid = slightly better brakes.

looks like its just leaking from the seal between the reservoir and the master cyl. if you're having no other problems, you might try replacing those seals only. i've never done it, but i do see that most master cyl can be bought w/o the tank, so there must be an easy way.

The factory mc's are very easy to rebuild. You can buy the kit at any auto store.
Bleeding IS the key. There are a few procedures to brake bleeding with the antilock valves.
Good luck with your ride.
