The front master brake cylinder is leaking fluid. It would appear to be comming from where the brake lever is bolted onto the master cylinder.
Now I assume there is a piston that is being commpressed at this point. Can new seals be purchased or do I start looking for a new cylinder?

You should be able to purchase new seals, but I would strip it and check the bore first as it may be corroded.

You can also get a new piston if required.
