I had to top off my fluid reservoir (brake light came on to inform me)
twice in a week. I parked with two wheels on a sidewalk and had a
crawl under to look at cylinders and the valve. The valve was dripping
with fresh fluid.
My first call for the part was to Custom Auto in Mill Valley, CA.
Marcel did not have the part in stock and would have sold it to me for
$55-$60 if he did. He is a friend who, historically, gives me a better
deal than Western does. I decided, as Western will deliver to my door,
to call them for the part.
