amoosenamedhank: What was leaking exactly on the resevoir?? Was it the res. itself, or the seal?? I'd think you'd be able to see bubbles in the MC, unless the fluid was really dark..

There are 2 bleeder screws on the MC, I ran mine completely out of fluid and when I filled it back up and bled the brakes at the calipers I still had no pedal. I tried bleeding it from the MC and my pedal came back right away.

Okay, I misunderstood what you meant, I thought you said you had a leak at the MC.. I've always found it a TON better to bench bleed MCs, regardless, since you can push the plunger further in by hand, than you can with the pedal.. I remember the spring on the plunger broke on my 73 Fastback, while I was cresting a long, steep hill.. Thank god I had a manual trans in that car, and a solid e-brake...
