Which is what happened in my case with the old racecar. The master never built
up normal pressure due to the leaky slave bleeding pressure off. So the old
seals in the master didn't leak. When I fixed the slave, the pressure in the
master now built up to the point that the old seals in master began to leak.

It was, and I did.
