Master Cylinder woes....
ok...so i was in an accident a little while back....the fluid reservoir was drained empty...so i went out and bought some and filled it all up...started bleeding them to get all the air out...well took her out and the brakes still felt really weird...so i sat down and started bleeding some more...thats when i notice fluid leaking out of the top of the master cylinder...when i press all the way down on the pedal a small bit of fluid flows from the lower washer area on the top of the cylinder assembly...i took out the bolt and retightened it all down...and it still leaks....any thoughts? i really dont want to have to buy a new master cylinder...=(

I'd start with new washers/gaskets and see what you get. If nothing is "bent" or warped that should take care of the issue.
