    persistent leak at the master cylinder

    Folks, I turn to you for advice for my brake problem. After replacing the calipers and brake pads on my 1973 Dodge Polara, I found a great deal of rust and corrosion inside the master cylinder from contaminated brake fluid. Since a rebuilt unit from Auto Zone cost less than $30, I figured it...
