Vette(s): 1972 Base model convertible yellow white top black interior 350 4spd

Leaking from one of the 4 pistons, the master was not holding pressure when brakes were applied.

Vette(s): 1973 Orange Metallic Coupe (orig owner), L82, 4 spd (WR), PS, (A/C & PW (I installed from wrecked 73)), leather, AM/FM Stereo, ran with '65 FI unit earlier & will again some day. 2023 Accelerate Yellow HTC Stingray

Depending on the depth of the rust pits in the bores of the calipers, it may be time to replace the caliper with one that has stainless steel liners. If the pits aren't too deep, it is possible to hone it and still maintain piston seal.
