I own a 95' Honda Passport with a rear wheel master cylinder leak. What is the best way for a fast fix before I can get it to a garage?

There is no rear wheel master cylinder that I am aware of. The MASTER Cyl. is just that, the master and everything is controlled by that. If you have a brake cylinder that's a different story. It can be replaced rather easily and not that expensively either. I think that's what you may be talking about, in which case, I know of no quick fixes to the problem. Check the bleeder valve if it has one and tighten it if loose, replace the lost fluid and see if that helps.
Good Luck.

A rear wheel only has a slave cylinder or wheel cylinder. They aren't called master cylinders because they aren't the master.
Make sure you have enough fluid in your brake resevoir. If you ever got air into the master, you must make sure the brake lines are bleed or you may not be able to stop.
Definitely get it replaced immediately. If the brake leak as contanimated the fluid in the area, you'll also need a brake job done.

Locate the flex line for the wheel cylinder,and clamp it off to stop the fluid from leaking out,DON'T DRIVE MORE THAN YOU HAVE TO.

Best bet is to tow it.. Theres really no easy way to block the fluid unless you have the right things layin around.. If you do ur better off fixing yourself
