Hey whats up guys? Well i blew a brake line and replaced it. Now when i bleed the line i'm not retaining pressure. I get a little when i pump then it's gone just as fast. I see no other leaks anywhere. Can this be a master cylinder or booster? Thanks!

If you are positive there is no other leak in the system and the reservoir level is not changing, then you have a leak-by in the Master Cylinder.

Brake light comes on due to low fluid level. You may have a leak somewhere so verify before replacing the master cylinder. A brake master cylinder repair kit may be available but I'm not sure whether you want to tackle that. The brake system is a safety item that must be handled properly.
