Default Bad Master Cylinder?

My new (2 month old) reman master cylinder may be going bad. It is pumping fluid from the rear reservoir to the front one. Are remans really this bad? If I need another one, I'll just buy a new one. Is the one from Corvette Central a new one or a reman? It is $179. Does that sound like a new or a reman price?

Sivek, I think that is a common problem. I put a reman on my 85 and it went bad within a few months. I would recomend new. My reman was like $65. $179 sounds like new price. There are some things I would buy reman but brake master cylinder is no longer one of them. Good Luck, Guy
