Brakes
Pedal goes to floor, but does pump up when its full of fluid. Front (small) resevoir seems to leak. What is odd is that, when I go to check the level, it seems to have leaked into the rear (large) resevoir.
Because when I take the lid off, the front resevoir is empty, but fluid overflows out of the rear resevoir.
Any ideas?
This is a 2 wheel drive 79 F-150 with 6 cylinder. automatic

i would buy a NEW master cylinder. notice how i did not say a rebuilt. the rebuilts are a crap shoot and can be a dangerous one at that. the problem is, is at the factory they hone the cylinder but they reuse the stock piston in the now enlarged hole. use a over sized o ring and hope for the best. these will leak or just rupture .
