Ok a few probably dumb questions about my K1100rs, but here goes anyway.

1) A few weeks ago after a particularly fast and hard braking run I noticed fluid leaking from underneath master cylinder (it wasn't much but more than a weep), on return I checked the level and took a little out as it looked over full, now it is 3/4 visible in the sight glass on a level surface. I tightened up all screws but it continues to weep, no drips though. Do I do something about it?

2) Will it mean a full cylinder rebuild?

3) How much is the kit?

4) I've read about the need for bleeding kits etc, can I not just do pipe into a jar?

5) If not is it because of the ABS?

6) Will doing this rebuild affect the ABS system at all?

Well I did say a few, sorry if they appear dumb but I did warn you.

Thanks in anticipation for any advice you give.
