From a message left by the dealership, new rear cylinder pistons are needed
as they were leaking badly, but the strange thing about that is that it was
not marking its territory or loosing its fluid.

I did also hear that the backing plates were need. The van in an 85 with
minimal rust. Maybe it had been crusty over time. I asked for all my parts
back so, I'll have to do an inspection.
