I have fluid leaking from the master cyclinder cap, down the side of the master cyclinder onto my paint in the engine compartment....Is it just over filled??? or does this mean I have air in the system?? or some thing else??? I have a Hemi booster with after market single piston disc brakes in the front..could this be a problem?? also, I only have about 4 inches of pedal total when I push on them---the first 2in or so I get very little brake...then the last bit the brakes will basically lock up hard....ANY advice would be appreciated!!!!

ahhh yes had the same problem when I did my disc swap.. anyway the problem I had was that the retainer was not pressing down enough on the mst cyl lid so it leaked what I did was bend the retainer so that it fit tight when you put it over the mst cyl lid.
