1 Rear Master Cylinder leaking Mon Mar 16, 2015 7:14 am

Hello,
This morning I discovered a small spot of brake fluid on the floor, just underneath the rear master cylinder.
After some investigation, I found out that it comes from the screw that retains the cylinder piston.
The bolt was tightened with 7 Nm and for a reason or another it starts to leak.
Did I push the cylinder too deep (while applying brakes), damaging the screw thread and thus causing this leak?
Any suggestions how to solve this leak.
Are my brake pedal adjustments correct? I adjusted the screw in such way that it makes contact with the piston, without pressure on the piston. Or should I leave a gap of a few mm between piston and adjustment screw.
Need your advise.
