Nissan Repair: name the part I need to buy, banjo bolt, nissan altima


Question
Hi, I drive a 5sp 1993 Nissan Altima. Brake Fluid is spilling through a tear in a rubber(hose like),circular gasket like part.The part is aside the slave cylendar(not mounted to the slave cylendar...it's a seperate part. What is it called?

Answer
Angie,

If it is not the slave cylinder then the hose form the master to the slave cylinder is blown.  But, I would really inspect the slave cylinder to me sure it is not the source of the leak.  Now, if you are talking about where the hose connects to the slave it is called a banjo bolt and it has copper washers on each side of the banjo bolt.
