I just finished replacing the rear brake lines and caliper. I drove to work and no problem. Now it seems that there is some leakage between the reservoir and where the lines connect on the Master Cyl. Is it possible it is leaking past the lid on the reservoir or is the MAster Cyl shot?????????

the brake line may have burped an air bubble. and displaced some juice. hows the pedal feel?

Probably when you closed up the rear wheel cylinders with the new shoes it pushed fluid back into the resivior and caused it to leak out. If it was topped off before you did the brakes this will happen.
Unless it really is leaking where the lines hook up onto the M-C then it may just bee not sealed up right.
