Hello all,

I can't STOP buying new components for my braking system on my 81 van with
a hydraulic clutch. Ok, I have mushy pedal that eventually goes to the
floor at stoplights on inclines. I now have new rear shoes and calipers. I
just purchased a new master cylinder and upon draining all the nasty,
partially blackish brake fluid I removed the old master cylinder to
discover---

fluid or oil, lube? in the the vacuum servo unit!

Is this normal? I hope so or else cha ching! at some parts outlet.

As the sun sets in the west, I gather my tools, and begin planning my day
with public transportation.

Any advice or help is appreciated. Craig
