2014 clutch master HELP

Hey guys, I'm in panic mode right now.

Yesterday my clutch started feeling soft on my 2014 XC300RE, and I can see some fluid leaking past the seals on the clutch master. I need to get parts to make it functional ASAP. Losing riding days is a horrible prospect.

I've spent time searching, and from what I can tell, My master should be an AJP 9.5mm bore mineral oil.

Option 1: rebuild kit. I'm not seeing any in stock / available on this side of the planet (I'm in Canada)

Option 2: Can a more available master be swapped from a KTM?
I read mixed info on this. Sounds like the master end of my hose wouldn't connect to a KTM/Magura master? Would need the KTM hose?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. There is a KTM dealer not too far away, if I could make something fit using the KTM parts, it would possibly be the fastest solution. Just not sure what to look for.
 
There are two different Magura master cylinders.

To be sure, the hose sealing ends will have to match up. The threaded part in the same.

This style one, I installed on my 2011 GG. Using the GG OEM hose.

On my '15. I used this style one, with the GG OEM hose.

Since one is mineral, and one is DOT fluid... I guess Id look at the mineral style you shared. Thanks very much!
 
The ALL BALLS Racing kit #18-4003 worked in my 2014 EC300, its listed on the western power sports site as a 21-84003. Gasgas parts guy has them as well. When you rebuild it and go to bleed it, do yourself a favor and heat your oil before putting it in the master cylinder. I was having a heck of a time getting mine to bleed. It just kept pumping bubbles that would hang at the bottom of the master cylinder and then get sucked back down. When I heated up the whole cylinder with a heat gun, they all came to the top in no time. I wouldn't go crazy with the heat, maybe 120-150 degrees(american, not canadian degrees).
 
Thanks for the pointers fellas.
My master cyl is dripping lightly, but I think I should be able to keep topping it off for the short term.
I ordered a rebuild kit from Mattos (blindly, no clue if / when it will arrive). But, I will probably want to convert to a KTM / Magura for easier to get parts down the road.
