Changing brake fluid level
I have a new to me 1969 coupe, checked the master cylinder and found the rear compartment was low added fluid, today I went for a 45 minute drive when I got back home found that the master cylinder was leaking from the lid gasket, opened it and the front compartment was overflowing and the rear was low. Could there be a crossover letting fluid go to the front?
Thanks for suggestions, ideas, fixes, Tony.

I would say you have a leaking rear caliper and a bad master cylinder.
