my master cylinder has a leak on the area where a line to the brakes exits or enters? It's located at the very top to the left, faceing the engine .Is there a seal in that area or did my m.c just go bad.
its not to bad right know but ..sometimes it shoots out a spray of fluid right on to the manafold .talk about a smoking hot rover..ha.ha

I wouldn't drive it for 2 reasons, it shoots out brake fluid, possible failure and if brake fluid hits a hot manifold, you could easily have a fire. Buy a new one and take care of your massive issue. Also make sure you do a complete flush of the system when you ar done.

If fluid can get out, likely air can get in. Air in the brakes is mui mui mui pelligrosso mi amigo! As Mike said... don't drive it until you've fixed it.

Cheers,
