Subject:      brake fluid use??
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

When last I had SyncroBeast running (1 1/2 years ago.) I had to fill the
brake reservoir about once a month.


Now I know that I'm not leaking thru the Slave cylinders at the rear and
the front caliper arn't leaking.  Nor do I see a fluid leak at the hydralic
clutch.


I spose that means I'm using it up thru the brake vacumm assist.  Is there
any convenient way to check that? or should I just go ahead replace it?


She's got 150k miles on her.
