Why is there air in my master cylinder?
This master cylinder is mounted at a relatively sharp angle. If air enters the left front or right rear wheel circuits it can migrate to the high point. If the vehicle is experiencing a low and/ or spongy brake pedal and the master cylinder is mounted at an angle, trapped air might be the cause. via
Why is my brake fluid reservoir bubbling?
Brake systems aren't completely sealed - and brake fluid is hygroscopic so over time moisture works it's way into the fluid (either through flexing on the brake lines or through the breather on the reservoir) and as the moisture level in the fluid increases the boiling point drops. via

Can the brake booster push air into the master cylinder?
Your foot applies around 70lbs of force to the brake pedal when you press it. That force goes through the brake booster, which amplifies it (often adding 200-300 lb of force) on the master cylinder. The master cylinder then converts that force to hydraulic pressure. via
Do you have to bleed the master cylinder?

Do I need to bleed my brakes after changing the master cylinder?
The only way to be sure your system doesn't have an air bubble is to bleed your brakes after repairing the leak. If you're replacing worn brake pads, which can cause air to enter the master cylinder. Braking with worn pads requires more brake fluid, which drains the reservoir and creates space for air. via

What does it mean to bench bleed?
It's a process done before starting the process of bleeding the brakes on the rest of the vehicle. Typically done on the work bench (hence the name), this will remove the air from the master cylinder which then speeds up and makes bleeding the rest of the system much easier. via
How do you bleed brakes with pumping pedals?
First, attach the clear tubing over the nipple of the bleeder valve and put the other end in a bottle to catch the fluid. Step 2: Ask your friend to pump the brake pedal three times, and then hold the pedal down as far as it will go. Your friend must hold it there until you say it's time to release it. via
