Went to dump this morning and lost most of the braking system going down a steep hill (a bit butt clenching). I noted brakes fluid puking out of the front area of the master cylinder. It's the type without a regular vacuum canister. I've never messed with one of these. Anyhow, I managed to get the GMC back in my driveway and I guess I'll remove that master cylinder and try and figure out what's going on. I tried pumping the brakes but I don't see any more fluid coming out.

One thing that I noted when I bought the GMC a few weeks back is the brake pedal seems close to the floor. The PO advised me that it was typical of these rigs with the six wheel disc system.

Anyhow, just looking for some advance info from anyone that may have experienced a similar issue with this master cylinder. Thanks.
