Can a master cylinder fail in a manner that it doesn't let fluid return back to the reservoir?
Yes, a master cylinder can fail in a way that prevents brake fluid from returning to the reservoir. This can occur due to internal seal failure or blockage, which can create a situation where fluid is trapped in the brake lines, leading to a loss of brake function. Symptoms may include a spongy brake pedal or a pedal that sinks to the floor. Regular maintenance and inspection can help identify such issues before they lead to serious problems.
