Default Master cylinder cracking.

My master cylinder on the passengerside is
fractured and appears to have stress cracks. Its not leaking ,but Im afraid it might start.Last October I flush the fluid with the motive presure bleeder could that cause the fracturing.Anybody else have this problem.2001, A4,52000 on the clock. thanks jeff 49
