I was actually thinking (or maybe _hoping_ so I wouldn't need to
replace it) that possibly when braking pressure was forcing it out.
But I don't know if that's possible - therefore the question to you
guys with more experience with these.

No, that's not it. If anything it's a bit low thanks to that leaking
wheel cylinder!

1973, but the brakes have been switched from the correct dual-line
system to the older single-line system by the DPO.
My guess at this point is the master cyclinder needed replaced and the
cheaper single-line cylinder was put in instead of rebuilding the
dual-line.
I was thinking of restoring it back to dual but then I saw the price
of the required parts: $250 for the master cylinder and another $600
for the pressure warning assembly! Ouch!!
