2003 escape brake pedal squeals. Brakes have all been redone; however, pedal squeals when released. Wondering if vacuum leak or master cylinder. [wmaloche@yahoo.com](mailto:wmaloche@yahoo.com). Girlfriends car so must get fixed. ---

It squeaks where? The linkage by your foot/inside the dashboard? Or the master cylinder under the hood? ---

Hard to tell, sounds like pedal but only does going down road. Could be under hood.
