So yeah, the master cylinder was the culprit. I saw some signs of leaking around where it bolts to the body, and then when i pulled it out and removed the rubber boot a bunch of fluid came spilling out.

Here's the replacement, I've had this for years, brand new in the box. Its more appropriate then the one i had since its made for 4 wheel disk brakes.

The caliper is showing the diameter of the new one compare to the old one, its like 2.7 mm bigger. I'm sure the pistons are similarly upsized.

Should give me a bit more braking power.
My next brake project needs to be customizing some cables and housings for the rear e-brakes. I havent had an e-brake in years!
Any of you familiar with the older cars will know how weird the e-brake cable routing is on these cars. Needless to say the brake cables and housings that came with the rear disk brake kit wouldnt fit this car.
