Happy New Year!!

I am having some house work done, so I have to park my Disco II on my driveway, which has a 30 degree incline. Now, my brake master cylinder is leaking. So, is this common when you park on a slant? Or, is it time to replace the brake master cylinder?

I didn't know they had any hills in Texas steep enough to have a 40 degree incline.

Anyway, no, tipping your truck shouldn't make the master cylinder leak. Is it coming from the cap or the seals from the plastic reservoir to the cylinder? Maybe if it was too full I could see the cap leaking. Make sure the plastic reservoir is pushed down and fully seated, otherwise, it's time to replace either the seals, or the whole thing.
