Leaky master cylinder (72) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am having a problem with a leaky master cylinder. I noticed that the fluid was leaking out of the front of the cylinder a few days ago. When I opened the lid, more fluid poured out of the front. The back chamber in the reservoir was about 2/3 full. I thought it might be the gasket, so I refilled it and put on a new lid and gasket that I had laying around. It's still doing it, although less than before.

The truck has been recently put back on the road after 6 years of pasture time. I don't know if that makes any difference in what is happening. Any ideas?
