I just got a new master cylinder and have been reading about bench bleeding. Seems there are as many opinions about the best way to bleed it (or not bleed it at all) as there are master cylinders.

Everything from just submerge it in a big bottle full of brake fluid and leave it overnight to just bleed it by bleeding the lines at each wheel.

EDSNOVA, it sure sounds like a leak in the M/C itself could be the culprit. I removed mine and found fluid in the cup where the pushrod from the pedal actuates the M/C. It was little more than damp, but it was there, and I'm assigning cupability to that unless replacing the M/C doesn't resolve the problem.

Good luck with yours!
