>>>The plunger seal can leak air without spilling any fluid out causing you to lose your advantage in pumping the fluid.<<<
That's correct, also, common problem is seals leak internally allowing fluid to pass by seals (from one chamber to the next)reducing/eliminating the ability of the MC to build pressure. |

Car back today-master cylinder bad. Had it and both brake boosters redone by White Post-fast turn-around and brakes work.

Pedal was initially firm-Calipers recently rebuilt-I was wondering if its just badly bled lines-thanks for the suggestion. |

Is the cyliner in the footwheel leaking air? The plunger seal can leak air without spilling any fluid out causing you to lose your advantage in pumping the fluid. |

Pedal gradually goes soft (but pumps up) after 30 minutes of driving. No obvious leaks of fluid, and reservoir still looks adequately filled.
Thoughts? |
