New master cylinder?

[jrgaylor]

Friday morning I noticed that I am getting what I believe is brake fluid leaking out of a group of bundled wires from under the dash, I forget about it till tonight and I went out and checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was a little low, my braking action seems to be fine. So what do you think a leaking master cylinder or maybe a problem with the vacuum booster or something else?

Do you have an auto or a 5spd? If you have a 5spd, I'd suspect the master for the clutch. If you have an auto, it is impossible for brake fluid to get through the booster.

I have a automatic. that fluid looks red maybe it is transmission fluid?

I have traced the fluid back to the speedometer cable, has anyone else ever had this happen? I did some wheelin awhile back where I was at a pretty good angle.
