I had an issue with the right front brake locking up when I hit the pedal. It all started when I went to the barn and found I had no brakes and the master cylinder was empty. I added brake fluid and pumped the brakes until I got some pedal. On my way to my house from the barn I hit the brakes and the right front wheel made a screeching sound and the front tire locked up. It didn't release after letting off on the pedal for a few seconds. Realizing there must be air in the lines, I bled the brakes today. When bleeding the brakes I noticed that fluid was coming out of the top of the master cylinder fill nut. It was coming out the little hole in the side of the nut. Can anyone tell me what would be causing the fluid to piss out the nut bleed hole and what might be causing my right front wheel to lock up after bleeding the brakes? I'm thinking the master cylinder is the issue.
