Bill,

Brake master cylinder is under the instrument cluster cover under the reservoir

The clutch master cylinder is at the bottom of the steering column (back side) about where your big toe is when the clutch is pushed in

Clutch slave is back/upper driver side of the tranny/engine

Jere

Well, now I'm getting confused. I understood the location of the Brake Master Cylinder but two suggestions are to look at the Clutch Master Cylinder or the Clutch Slave Cylinder. Are there 3 cylinders and are they all linked to each other so as to cause the loss of all brake fluid with the failure of any one of them? Vanagon seems just screwy enough to do that. If that's the case, I'll begin by tracking them down come morning. Thanks.
