[Motor City GMC]

I did notice a couple runs of fluid on the outside front of the master and also a couple behind the hydroboost against the firewall (where it bolts to the firewall) last time i drove it...also my pedal is kinda stiff but only got like that after bleeding the brakes.
Could that valve bieng tripped cause this?
When resetting it do you open the bleed screw and pump the brakes or only push down once, hold and retighten before releasing em?
