Subject:brake fluid use??
From:Carl Hansen
Date:Thu, 6 May 1999 12:18:23 -0600

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.
