Ok. I'll check for leaks. Yes, the clutch master cylinder is inside. If it leaks, the driver's carpet will absorb the brake fluid. If it absorbs enough, it will get ruined (you can guess how I found that one out). > I do know that there has always been seeping below the brake master > cylinder, but the fluid level does not go down noticeably. You might need to replace the two rubber bushings between the steel master cylinder and the plastic (nylon?) brake fluid reservior. > I can also say that the hose leading from the brake master cylinder and > into the firewall is braided (not steel braided) and has a hose clamp. > I wondered if the hose clamp setup was not stock. That sounds stock to me.
