Hi Guys,

I have noticed a little "moisture" on the floor, at the corner/near the gas peddle area. I actually had a stain on the carpet in this area. The stain cleaned up easily. The moisture doesn't smell like gas, so I don't think that the fuel lines are leaking in the tunnel. But I am wondering if the master brake caliper could be leaking on the "plunger" side. A while ago I took the cover off of the area under the car that reveals the fuel lines and master cylinder and didn't see any leaks. I will check again this weekend. Have any of you all experienced any of these symptoms?

Thanks again!

Yep. I just made it into my garage and slowed to a stop. MC was original. Replaced and all was good. Don’t get the cheap URO one. I also replaced the soft lines since they go bad as well. One problem is the brake fluid ruins the bushings in the pedal assembly so that might have to be addressed. Bdstone914 rebuilds them better than new.
