Hello Group,
I lost brakes and brake fluid was coming out of the reservoir.  Pedal went all the way to the floor.  After a short time I was able to get some brake pressure.  My mechanic was unable to duplicate the brake failure and was unable to identify the cause of the problem.  He replaced the master cylinder and the brakes worked fine.  This past weekend the brakes failed again while I was on the freeway.  Fortunately I was able to reach the shoulder and use the handbrake to stop.  The brake fluid was again coming out of the reservoir.  After a short time I was able to get some brake pressure.  What should I be looking for as the cause of the brake failure?  Thank you.
