Default 98 Disco front brakes locking on!

Lately my front brakes have been locking on.
Started with a new ABS sensor. Seems to be a build up of pressure in the master cylinder. When I crack the nut on the cylinder, it releases the brake fluid and the brakes unlock.
Installed a new brake pressure release valve, but locking on continues.
Any ideas? Would the master cylinder itself cause this? I ruled it out b/c the brakes are working.
Problem seems greater in hot weather.
Any suggestions?

Where is the MC located and why does it need replacing?
