I just bought one and it leaks as well. It leaks from the top on mine. Chinese junk. I was plumbing in a water heater and went through five 3” brass nipples and they all leaked no mater how much pipe dope and Teflon tape I used. Went back a got 4” and First two worked. Poor quality control.

Just finished an all new brake system on my 70 Charger. The reman master cylinder is leaking down the inside of the firewall onto the floor pan. I guess I get to take it out this weekend
to see what the issue is. I did use a repop distribution valve.....so far no leaks. However, i have not driven the car yet.

I'd try another plug & if that didn't do it I'd search for the strongest sealant I could find (to contain 1500+ psi), maybe JB weld it.
