Well after bragging how well my 80 westy has been running, the  VW fairy decided
I needed a little humble pie.  My westy still runs great, the problem is
stopping.  On the drive home from work yesterday, I thought I heard a little
pop!, then when I went to stop my brake pedal was very soft.  This past summer I
re-built all the brakes including hoses.  I made it home the short distance,
then hopped out and found absolutely no fluid leaking! yet I was down a pint.
Some of you know where I am going.  I took the vacuum line off the brake booster
and stuck my Mighty-Vac brake bleeder hose into the booster.  I then proceeded
to suck 1 pint of brake fluid out of the booster. I am pretty sure this is not
normal.  So, I will be checking vendors, but if anybody has a good used booster
for sale (all vanagon boosters the same), I'd like to hear from you.
