Recap - had lightly dragging brakes, felt the rub at about 5mph when let off brake and coast, brake pedal felt light and had light growl until pressed down a little farther.
Replaced - bleeder valves (had check ball for self-bleeding and thought air was getting in lines), replaced rotors, driver side inside pad was worn more than the others, replaced driver side caliper.
Now - fine for a day and now the same issue is back. If I have too much brake fluid in the reservoir (not to the top), fluid will push out through that upper seal. Not sure how or why. I've never seen that before but I didn't think it was that bad. And it never gets low enough for it to suck air in the lines. Why would fluid push up that hard? Do I need to now replace the master cylinder again? If so, can I replace it with one for a 2500 to get more pressure at the wheel?
Thank you for your help!
