You can put other parts in your 4runner from any auto parts store. Just about all of the parts they carry have warranties and are built to OEM spec. You don't have to replace both the master and slave cyl but they're cheap so it's not always a bad idea to do so, just not mandatory.

the mc's are these are VERY prone to leaking.
very, very prone.
i have NEVER seen a leak in a line, not to say it cant heppen, but ive never seen it. it will LIKELY be the MC, which is why i said to CHECK under the dash.
and, if you dont change both, it is also VERY LIKELY it will leak again. its very hard, almost impossible to flush all the old fluid out of the cylinders.
and what happens if you only change one, the fluid that is left in the other one, will contaminate the new one, causing it to leak again. ive seen it happen many times.
also, if you use other than OEM, you're taking a chance that it will leak again soon. maybe the aftermarket has gotten better, but after replacing MCs every 5 weeks, i decided OE was the way to go. im going on about 10 years, and TWO vehicles with those OE parts.
ive been down this road MANY MANY times. im speaking both from personal, and professional experience.
take it for what its worth.
