Well, we've begun the process of bringing our recently-purchased '84 Westy to road-worthiness. We noticed leaking brake fluid down at the pedals (now I know why the PO left so many bottles in the Westy when he sold it!). We replaced the brake master cylinder last week - after removing the entire dashboard (and going through list withdrawal - thanks for bringing it back!!). Bled the brakes last Sat., no leaks, getting prepped for our first camp this coming weekend, drove it to dinner last night - it's leaking again! My husband checked all the checkable things - which looked fine. Anyone else had similar fun? We're thinking the next stop is slave/clutch-related. Thanks much, all.
