New Master Cylinder problem???

my master cylinder seems to be blowing fluid out of the bottom of the casting.
This is the first bleed for an entire new disc/drum upgrade.

Cant find anything that mentions a valve or hole of any kind but it looks like some kind of a zerk?!?

Anyone run into this too?

Thanks,
CST350

Can you post a photo? A photo sometimes goes a long way in trying to solve a problem.

Feelin pretty dumb... the leak was at one of the line connections, the fluid just seeped to the bottom of the master cyl.

All tightened up now.... Thanks for the reply anyway.

you are not the first. glad you found the problem. The only ones I know of that have the zerks were on cars not the trucks just for info. I may be wrong on that to
