I drove the van into the garage last weekend. It sat for several days,
as I prepared to drop the engine. When I slid under to start jacking the
van up, I noticed that almost all the fluid from the reservoir, was now
on the garage floor. Not a few drops, or a small puddle. It simply
poured out the bottom of the cylinder. I have no idea why it would fail
like that, but it sure did :-(
