After completing a full body off chassis restoration during and after Covid my car has been stored while I and the country go through a cost of living crisis which for me has been a very difficult period of time.
Anyway to the point,
Ran my car upto temp yesterday and as it also has a marvellous MBE ignition system fitted started within about 2 seconds of turning the key, very happy and impressed.
Still not to the point so here goes,,,,
Tried clutch and brake pedal.
Clutch working perfectly but had a long brake pedal then noticed liquid in drivers footwell.
Master cyl showed almost empty so filled it up and brakes do work and stop the car well but travel is far too long.

So I assume this is either master cyl seals or servo failing.

3 questions.
1 if it’s master cyl seals would that leak into servo and then into car
2 can fluid leak into car if master cyl is ok but servo rotten through.
When pressing pedal I can here a suction type sound.
3 who do we recommend for both parts if replacement is needed.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Talked to Frank (blaze away) earlier and have a couple of tests to do but essentially it’s as everyone’s comments above.
