Return hole in the master was probably plugged up. Glad you got it fixed.
That's what has me scratching my head, I can shine and see light through it. I assume it is ultimately at the master cylinder plunger

It probably was bad seals in the master cylinder. A rebuild may have fixed it.

I was always nervous to take apart a master cylinder... until I did and saw there was nothing to them haha
