okay i was bleeding my brakes becuase they suck. they seem to have gotten worse but then again i stopped driving it daily in 06, so i prob was just used to them sucking so bad.

i read somewhere that you could bleed them without the cap on, but i had always bleed brakes with the cap on. well this time i tried it without the cap, and fluid squirted straight up from the back resovoir. i ended up putting the cap on to finish bleeding. bleeding didn't help my brake situation at all.

i am going to replace the master cylinder, but wanted to know if squirting liquid is normal?
