I'd be happy to help...but I'm out of town until next week. In the meantime, try this trick for the front brake....

As far as your overflow issue, the float in the bowl in probably stuck. A few taps on the side of the carb bowl will sometimes fix this.

I had the bike at a shop a few times within the last few months and they fixed the front brake issue there

You should probably check the reservoir and clean it and put new fluid in. Something was probably blocking the little hole the the fluid pumps through, pushing the fluid up back through the line dislodge what ever was blocking the hole.
