check to see exactly where the leak is coming from, i had a master cylinder leak that i traced to where the feeder lines from the brake fluid reservoir enter into the top of the master cylinder, for me the culprit was a worn and leaking rubber grommet/nipple which is a cheap fix, but then again so is a new master cylinder + Labor

$55 master cyl and $20 calipers are good insurance-- if it's old and leaking replace it no sense and wrecking 10-20 grand car because of $200 in parts
