If the master cylinder is going out.. it doesn't
neccessarily leak. Pressure can blow past the seals.
This is what happend to my g/f's jetta. After, I spent
many hours get pissed-off. $ wheel cylinders later...
Decided on trying out the master.. Voila! Just a
suggestion. Unless you can see leaks somewhere
(typical of a pressurized system) I would say you have
a leak somewhere, let alone a brake line. Reminds me..
I might have to go lokk up too see if there is a vacum
boost.. taht could also be a culprit. Good luck. Hope
this might help with some ideas.
