Dealer said the master brake cylinder is leaking outside and into the brake booster on my 2001 ford escape 716 to replace and brake flush Is that a good estimate?
No, not really. You would be overpaying by about $300. A booster should cost about $100, and there is no way they can just the rest of that cost on labor...That is too much money.

Can you fix the mistake of putting engine oil in the brake fluid?
Yes. You can fix the mistake of putting engine oil in the brake fluid. It is the easiest if you just caught it as soon as you did it. In that case you disconnect the master cylinder as quick as possible from the brake lines. You do not want oil to clog the brake lines. Then you remove as much brake fluid, oil mix from the master cylinder as possible. Then you take a rag and clean out the master cylinder. Then you run brake fluid through the master cylinder until it comes clean. Then you run brake fluid through the brake lines to make sure they are clean. If brake fluid does not go through the brake lines, you did not catch it in time. You need to replace your brake lines and slave cylinders. You have just learned an expensive lesson.
The Cost Of a Brake Repair?
The cost of brake repairs depends on what kind of repair is needed. The simplest, least expensive brake problem is caused by low brake fluid. The repair consists of adding brake fluid and, if there is at least some brake fluid already in the master cylinder, the problem will be solved. Brake fluid costs about $15.00 per quart. If, however, the master cylinder is empty, pouring in fluid will trap air in the system, and it will cost a mechanics’ time to “bleed” the system. Repair shops typically charge around $50.00 per hour for the work of a mechanic. Brake pads need to be replaced after a certain number of uses. Normal rubbing against the pads will eventually wear them out. Brake pads can cost from around $50.00 to $75.00, depending upon the brand. With installation you can expect to spend around $100.00 having the pads replaced. If brake pads are not replaced when needed, they will be completely worn down and the underlying drum or disc will be worn down. Replacing the drum or disc is much more expensive, so it is important to replace the pads when they are worn out. It is a good idea to have them checked after every 20,000 miles. Prices for drums or discs vary among brands, but having them replaced by a mechanic can cost several hundreds of dollars. The master cylinder holds the brake fluid and sends it to each wheel cylinder when the brake pedal is pressed. The resulting pressure stops the car as long as there is brake fluid in an intact master cylinder. If the master cylinder is not working, the driver might have to press the pedal all the way to the floor to stop the car. This is a dangerous situation. Replacing a master cylinder can cost around $250.00. If all the above parts need to be replaced, including the master cylinder, discs, and drums, the price can be around $750.00, so it is a good idea to have your brakes checked periodically and not let needed repairs mount up. Repair companies such as Midas and Firestone offer brake inspections, or this inspection can be performed at a dealership or independent auto repair garage.

Is it a leak in your brake line if your brake light came on and went off after it was topped off then happened again a few days later and how much to fix?
It is either a brake line or the master cylinder or a wheel cylinder/caliper. Park on a clean dry surface. Look under the car for wet patches on the ground, especially behind the wheels, it may indicate where the fault is. If the surface remains dry then it is likely to be the master cylinder/servo. It is difficult to say what the cost will be because of the disparate cost of the individual parts. Having said that, the repair could be around $300. But you must get it seen to straight away, it is not safe to drive.
What to do when put power-steering fluid in your mastercylnder?
Your in a bit of trouble here. Power steering fluid will cause the seals in your brake master cylinder, calipers, and wheel cylinders to swell up. The system will definitely need to be flushed out. Remove the lid to your master cylinder open a can of brake fluid and turn it upside down while sticking it on the opening of yoru master cylinder. Much like the bottle of water on an office water cooler. Then go to each wheel and open the caliper and wheel cylinder bleeders. The fluid in your brake sytem will flush out emptying the container of brake fluid into your brake system. Do this a couple times and don't let the master cylinder run dry or you will get air in your brake lines. This may still be too late if the p/s fluid has damaged your seals. If your pedal dose not feel perfect take it to a garage
