OK gang - brake fluid on the driver's side floor by the brake pedal - Master Cylinder? I hear hissing when from the reservoir area when pressing the brakes in.

Second questions - could this possible failure cause the caliper pistons to not go back in after pressing the brake pedal? Or do I need two new caliper's as well? If so any chance anyone has a good source for rebuilt calipers? I can't handle the $125 a piece right now....

By the way on a good note thanks to this list I do have the bus running and have those beautiful round headlights in the 86' now. Thanks.

-- Thanks,

Jeff
