Interesting I just did this excersise
about a week ago here is what I did.

1) check all wheels for leaking
lines/connections and brake cylinders
(rear drums)
2) check lines under teh car for cracks
(wet lines from fuild) 
3) check for fuild coming out of lines
attached to master cylinder
4) check fuild coming out of O-ring
holding the bowl to teh master cylinder
(could be its not seated right...)
5) check for fuild in the bowl
6) if all above does not give you
issues.. change master cylinder

Please note--> 
http://www.motorworks.com have master
cylinders for MK2 rocco's for 24.95 on
special right now...
part # 191-611-019 and they deliver
quickly (got mine overnigh and I am in
canada). great guys...
