[Mgs] am i chasing a ghost???

[Paul Hunt]

Is the fluid level in the master changing?

With the pedal wedged down what happens when you open the slave bleed 
nipple?  If fluid spurts out then there is air in the system.  If you 
only get a trickle then I suspect the pressure seal in the master isn't 
pressurising.

If you do get a spurt i.e. air in the system it's difficult to see how 
that can happen from the master with it sitting idle, pedal being 
exercised maybe.  Joints air-tight?
