: Thanks, Brent! When I open the master cylinder up, I spill the bigger chamber because it has become overfilled. I just transfer the extra to the smaller chamber. The only amount I add is about what I have spilled. (No obvious fluid leak at rear brakes, either). Internal bypass--I didn't realize the chambers weren't totally separated. -Doug
: I believe whats happening to your master is called internal bypass...its where the seals inside the master have gone bad and the brake fluid is seaping through to the other resvivour (however thats spelt) hehe...
: but yeah..the master is shit...
: do you notice a fade in the pedal while stopped at a light or anything?
: i ended up getting a new master...dont buy remanufactured junk....you get what you pay for.....
