If it is leaking at the rear (rear is rear) end of the MC then the MC needs to 
be rebuilt (even if it is new.) If the leak is right under the pedal, not at 
the MC, then it means that your long rear steel brake line is rusted thru and 
must be replaced. I'm afraid this is fairly common and is a lot of work to do.
