I dropped my car off at the mechanic to install the line lock as I generally prefer to leave brake works to someone else.
They had a problem bleeding the brakes and pulled the master cylinder and found it leaking into the booster.
The master cylinder was replaced less than 5,000 miles ago.
The prior master cylinder had failed after the conversion of the rear brakes to disc
I replaced it with http://www.streetortrack.com/Master-Cylinder-for-4-wheel-disc-1964-73-Mustangs-pr-23771.html this master cylinder.
Two questions
Could improper installation or bleeding have caused this failure?
And with the brake booster full of brake fluid, is it likely that it will have been damaged?
