I doubt it's the line - probably at the wheel cylinder. Have you removed the bleeder all the way and looked in?

Could be the line....

Nothing to either side of the back?

see if theres maybe a bleeding order for the calipers. brakes are a closed system, there should be nothing solid in there to clog up

The rear driver squirts when pressing pedal,drips from gravity, front passenger is same front driver drips with pedal , removed bleeder on the back, a bit rusty but not clogged,removed the rubber line where it connects to the metal line no flow, was able to blow thru caliper bleede thru the rubber line... put a tube on metal line,nothing,blowing or sucking, while pushing pedal-car off and on...master cylinder maybe...any one have a pic of which lines go to where coming from the abs unit in case I have to change the line...also if I use the rolled up brake line replacement line does it have to be the same length,routing as the old line or can I just run it from the abs to the rubber hose connect any way I want...sorry thx!

Master cylinder. I had the same issue you described in your OP and it turned out to be a bad master.

Yay, good job! These maxi's sure have good brakes when they are working right. Is yours an ABS or non-ABS maxi?
