Hole in brake reservior
Hey guys I just noticed leaking brake fluid and turns out I have a fingernail size hole in the plastic
brake reservior. I think it was caused by the intercooler pipes melting the plastic. Can I just use hot glue to
Fill the hole?

Take it off, clean it up, and some Heavy duty Expoxy, wont melt from heat, just use a bit of sand paper on the outside around the hole to give is something to hold on to!!!

I doubt the epoxy would stand up to the brake fluid, that is some nasty stuff. Replace the reservoir and get a heat shield in place. Your brakes are only as strong as your weakest component. Need a source on the part call All Hyundai Auto Recycler 916-851-9858.
