The brakes seem to be doing fine. After scratching my head last night I did realize that I have been having to step on them harder the past few days. Nothing too bad but I did notice a slight difference. Hmmmmmmm Good info guys, I appreciate it!! I'll stop off and get some fluid on the way home.
There has been some oily looking junk all around the fluid housing since a bought it a few weeks back. Steamed the whole engine and a few days later noticed the oily junk back on the firewall around the fuild reservoir. I wonder if it is leaking from the lid gasket? I noticed the filler cap looks like galvanized metal with a slight raised area in the middle with a little nut. I'm sure there has to be some old gasket under it.
Looks like some wrencing fun tonight when I get home.
