pinaayos ko po yan nung monday may leak kasi yung left drumbrake,bago lang po yung wheel cylinder nyan sir saka shoes, pair daw mag replace pag may leak.
yung arrow po yung may teflon. yan yung nilagyan ng mekaniko kasi diyan daw nag leleak nung nag air bleed na siya ng left drumbrake.

brake line din ba name ang tawag pag maghahanap sa auto supply. kaso saan gawa kung hindi po siya copper?
namamagnet po yung brakeline nang i test ko yung harddrive magnet ko. sinukat ko din ng plastic caliper ko 3/16 size

If the brake line is available at the dealership, get the OEM. Or if it's not available, get a prefabricated line and bend it to the oreegeenal shape.

well, if it's not a defective slave cylinder, it's a defective tubing / coupler.
you'll just have to replace each one, one at a time, to see which needed replacing.
i'd start with the tubing, as it's cheaper. you might try ready-made ones (yess, such things are available, for popular models!), or you remove yours and ask the store to duplicate it.

but definitely, teflon tape is not it!

pag yung original san po kaya nakakabili old nissan 94lec po kasi,parang pa fabricate nalang solusyon.
new brake line fittings saka un brake line para di na masakit sa ulo.
if ever na walang available fittings yung shop na pag papaayusan ko okay lang ba i reuse yung old fittings?

It is alright to reuse old fittings if the hex drive or the threads are not stripped. The fittings may not have caused the leak, the corroded line did.

My guess is, the the tapered cone receiving end of the new brake cylinder did not seat well with the OEM brake line flared end causing the leak. but tightening it optimally should solve your problem (presuming that the flared end is still ok and the end fitting hex head is not rounded). maybe your mechanic just did not tighten it properly. A very experienced and knowledgeable mechanic will NOT use Teflon with this kind of job. or maybe he doesnt have complete tools for this job

a sentra!
try the casa, po. it may be more expensive, but it should be unquestionable.
try also the auto centers in banawe and evangelista.

*LN106G oo nga sir pansin ko magkaiba ng kaunti yung cone shape ng luma kong wheel cylinder comparing side by side(yung luma). Buti hiningi ko hehe nang makalikot. Nung habang pinagmamasdan ko kung sino yung sira sa dalawa napansin ko ay nabutas yung rubber seal nung isang wheel cylinder kaya siguro nabasa yung buong drumbrake pati shoes at hindi na din nagana yung isang piston(na stuck). kinumpara ko din yung threads, yung sa nagana ok, pero dun sa nagka leak medyo sira yung threads. yung may sala siguro yung mas naunang naginstall ng old wheel cylinders na nag leak, hindi yung pinagpaggawaan ko this month.ang problema naman hindi sinabi sakin kung na loosethread na yung break line ng goodyear servitek pque(ibalik nalang daw pag nagka leak).
*dr.d sa facebook palang ako nagmessage sa Nissan.try ko yung sa website nila customer service kung may parts pa sila.
Yung nagpagtanungan ko dito samin na shop jp wheels center. Baka daw hindi nakalapat yung pagkakaayos o di kaya I-inspect para malaman kung sino yung may sira, yung line ba or yung thread ng wheelcylinder. may sinabi din yung manong mahal daw yung original brake line at meron nag fflare ng copper ayung nagdalawang isip tuloy ako, kaya nalimutan ko tuloy itanong yung presyo ng original at kung meron silang makukuhaan ng original. Pangit naman magpaggawa kung yung may tama yun line tapos copper lang ipapalit pag ininspect nila yung kotse. Babalikan ko nalang ulit sila at tanungin ko kung may stock silang mapapagkuhaan ng original brake line.
Oo nga pala Amoy pinagprituhan ng isda yung brake fluid na nag leak-__-
