Did front and rear disc brake conversion, a shop ran the lines and put in the new aftermarket booster. The master cylinder is leaking from the lid slightly when you apply the brakes (dripping down the front). Ideas? Am also getting a very pronounced squeak from the rear. This is a '57 Dodge

MC gasket not seating and possible overfill? Noise in rear needs further info.

When I converted to dual, before the Internet, I did not bench bleed the MC and for a time it leaked from the lid. It stopped after a few 1000s. Maybe that was caused by not bench bleeding, but not sure.
