I own a 1990.5 Cadillac Allante . the brake master cylinder is leaking on the floor.It seems only to leak when the brake peddle is depressed with the motor off. It is only a drip. Any ideas other than replacement?

Yes, tell us where on the master, its leaking. If its the fluid container, you can replace the O rings, if its a line, tighten it up. If its a hose, replace it.

I didnt come up with a part number though for you in the aftermarket OEM so I am assuming that is probably dealer only.

Are you talking the Garage floor? (possibly fixable) or the floor on inside of the car? because my first reply is if its dripping on the inside of the car.
