Brake fluid in driver's footwell - Master Cylinder leak?
Today I noticed a bit of brake fluid had drained onto the driver's floormat and when I looked under the dash it is running down the heating duct above the clutch pedal.
I looked around the master cylinder in the frunk and there is a bit of fluid there.
I recently bled my brakes, first via a Motive bleeder, then via the two person pump method to "exercise" the pistons on my newly rebuild calipers by PMB.
SO.....is my master cylinder leaking or is this from the brake bleeding process? It doesn't seem normal for the M/C to leak during any bleeding.
Thoughts??
