Not ignorance just have not had experience with the problem.  The brake
master cylinder in our Westy Syncro used to leak fluid on the floor mat in
subzero temperatures do to differential contraction.  It was fine in warmer
weather but when cold leaked.  The replacement does not and the pedal feels
much more firm now.
