I got everything hooked up and when i started bleeding the system, brake fluid started leaking out of a small port located between teh front and rear fittings. its about 6 MM in diameter and i have to clue what it does. there is no visible thread or anything. i need to plug this thing up or something... car has been in the garage on stands for almost a week with stupid problems and now this. this is a remanufactured tokico master cylinder. any help or ideas would be very appreciated
