At least this was the case with the previous dual action design (where you used the clutch master for the rear brake). This o-ring seals off the pressure, so that the pressure from the left hand master cylinder is routed into the rear master cylinder's high pressure circuit.
Could it be that the o-ring is missing or leaking, or that the length of the insert is wrong for the actual rear master cylinder?
I have been playing with the idea of building a similar system for my bike, so if you could give me a link to the Hope (or other make) radial master cylinder that Rekluse use, I would be grateful.

The Rekluse install video does show a rubber oring for fitment on the bottom of the brake reservoir.
