Your MC is probably fine; the rear circuit is always the one that 
fails. DoT-3/4 br“µåød is a perishable substance; it absorbs 
water out of the air. You should replace it every couple of years and 
at this stage you should flush fresh fluid generously through the 
system until it comes out clean from every bleed valve. Perhaps in 
the process of doing this you will also get some more air out.
