Front brake wear
So I have a 94 formy, I got it last december and right after I bought it I took it in just to get checked over and all that good stuff. Well turns out it needed a new master cyclinder and front brakes and rotors. Since then I had the front brakes and rotors replaced 3 times. But anyways i was under the car yestarday changing the rear diff fluid, and noticed were the main brake line splits(the little connector piece) had all kinds of junk and what seemed like brake fluid. So im thinking the back brake lines are leaking and all the pressure is going to the front brakes and thats why their wearing so fast. Does my logic make any sense, or are the front brakes just this shitty on these vehicles? Sorry for the paragraph, lol.

There not the best brakes but they should certainly last a lot longer then that. Anything is possible, hows the fluid level? i would definitaly check out the piece your explaining. leaks arent good. Do the slide pins move freely in the caliper?

When brake lines leak in a diagonally split system, the pressure goes out the leak (path of least resistance), not to the calipers or to the front brakes in your case. You're probably seeing differential fluid from the pinion seal (very common leak on these cars). I don't think you have a brake fluid leak...
I have 2 94s and they both are 3 channel ABS with a master cylinder that's nothing special as far as proportioning valve. Your shop may have installed a wrong master cylinder that isn't proportioned anywhere close to correct or the proportioning valve is stuck in the bore (maybe got trash in it because they didn't flush the brake system before installing it). Is your ABS light, by any chance? And you're sure the front calipers aren't sticking, as Badazz 97 TA asked?
