Final word on this matter…
I disassembled the old valve and examined everything closely. The bore looked smooth and clean; no visual signs of any debris or contaminates in the valve or in any of the residual brake fluid. All the seals were intact, pliable and exhibited no obvious signs of damage or deterioration. A great big “dunno” for me.
My recommendation in addition to Bouymaker’s above is if you have one of these, go ahead and buy your replacement w/o that weep hole and store in your truck with the extra brake fluid.
Oh! …and drop us a note from “Podunk”! 😉
