I am assessing a coach - next big question:
I have opened the master cylinder and the front compartment is watery/gelled/rusty. Back looks clear.

I have moved coach ten feet forward and back, and brakes do work, but do not instill confidence. Rotors and drums are rusty so would take a few miles to seat again anyway...

Is front cylinder the front brakes?
Should I assume anything horrible has happened to the whole system, or is water lighter and might be contained to the high side? I wonder if I am looking at new lines/cylinder/calipers, etc. or just a flush and check.

Thanks,
Tyler
