when i step on the brake pedal approaching say a red light, after initial 
pressure, the pedal kind of "breaks through", you hear sqwoosh, like the 
vacuum boost is pushed out somewhere, the pedal suddenly goes another inch 
toward the floor and then all is well.  i replaced the master cylinder 
recently with another used one, because the top plastic reservoir was 
broken.  is it possible the rubber seal at the front of the master cylinder 
is where it is leaking?  hard to tell when you are driving, but the sound is 
pronounced.  can you buy to replace just that rubber seal?  thanks, larry
