Re: leaky master cylinder
the valve inside the master cylinder is bad and not making the fluid go to the wheels. instead it comes out hte top.

Re: leaky master cylinder
no its not the pro valve. the master has a valve inside of it that decreases pressure to the front brakes. if that valve is leaking past it will still stop but it will let the fluid leak past and back into the master and pressurize the master resivior. this is on a disc brake master i think.
