Yes, from factory, straight off showroom floor. It was just poor quality control from AJP. I know of 4 that had the same problem and 2 that didn't in my area (14/15's). Replacement with a Magura master cylinder is the easy cure, has a much better feel also.

You say your slave piston seal(on engine) was damaged? I don't follow how that had any effect on the master cylinder???
