I need to change out the master cylinder gasket, and will need to bleed the brake lines wen I'm done. I don't have a service manual, so I need help identifying the "bleeder valve" ? I don't know if that is what it's called, but some sort of chinquedero that I can open in order to bleed the lines.
Yes, the leak is between the master cylender and the booster.
True with the manual. And as far as the air, that is exactly why I want to bleed the lines. I have worked on many cars before. I have never owned a vehicle untill just recently that didn't need constant care, so I am fairly comfortable with my abilities.
 
You need to dig a little deeper first. You stated the master cylinder gasket. Are you talking about the gasket on the lid?
Is there brake fluid leaking from between the master cylinder and the brake booster? If there is the master cylinder is defective.
I would suggest having this done by a professional. If the brakes are not bled properly there can be air in the system. At that critical point, when approaching a red light, you can encounter an air lock or the brakes could go to the floor.
If you intend to do this yourself then get a manual. The $12 to $15.00 is far cheaper in the long run. You do not want to learn the hard way that you made a mistake with brakes..
I could walk you through this, and someone else may, but I hope you give it some thought.
