Re: Master cylinder or brake booster?

bad news everyone

Replaced the master cylinder a second time, after the first reman MC failed within 20 minutes. This time, it felt like the brakes were holding up to speed, but when the car wasn't moving, the pedal just kept going in. Then, Brake fluid spraying out of the left side of the booster as you push the pedal. This happened originally as well; after failure?

All methods of testing show that the booster is working. However fluid isn't supposed to be spraying out the side of it, but there isn't supposed to be any fluid in it in the first place. Did the second reman MC fail yet again? or is the booster bad as well? Pedal firm when 30-40 upto speed. Idle or not moving - pedal goes in, fluid sprays from side of booster.
