I figger the brake booster is full up to the vaccuum line. Yea.. I know. I'll have to siphon it out when I get the master cylinder off. I've got a spare, and even new ones ain't too pricey yet...

I'll go along with the consensus and change out the master cylinder tomorrow...

The thing that really opened my eyes to the situation is... well...

I have been thinking that if I stip on the brakes, I'm losing a little bit of brake fluid. Which is true I'm sure. WHat I hadn't though of is that whenever there is manifold vaccuum, I'm also losing brake fluid... Makes good sence. Just hadn't occurred to me until this morning.

I'll fix the damn thing...obviously it should never have gotten so bad...
