I thought my master cylinder was toast so I started out by bleeding my brakes just to see what was up. The rear drivers side went well. A bunch of gook came out then it started bleeding clean fluid. I closed the bleeder cap and went to the front passenger wheel. I was able to push the piston away from the rotor with a screw driver. When I went to bleed that wheel nothing was coming out so I kept unscrewing the bleeder screw until it came off. I discovered it was filled with rust and crud. I boiled it and used a needle and paper clip to get it cleaned out. I went back outside and there was brake fluid all over the driveway. So I'm guessing I let a bunch of air in there? I started to bleed that one and there was tons of air coming out. Here and there would be fluid but for the most part tons of air. This was the same for the other two wheels. What happened and what's next? I couldn't find an obvious leak. Is the MC bad? Is the vacum servo bad??
