THis is the biggest problem with the BTV master cylinder COMPESATOR PORT design. It gives NO forwarning of any failure. The more historically popular PISTON AND CUP master cylinder design, just short of exclusively used now and for many decades, in most cases will give some reasonalble forwarning of failure.
