Weird Problem?

On my brake master cylinder the reservoir closest to the firewall empties over time as the one in front gets too full? I know this is an amateur question but it baffles me. I have power brake drums all around and will be converting to disc in the front but can anybody tell me what would cause this?

Bad seal within the MC -- time for a new one.

Re: Weird Problem?

Do you mean around the lid or internally?

Re: Weird Problem?

Internally, due to a seal issue you are pumping fluid from the rear into the front.
