- Was under the dash putting the speedo back in and noticed a slight bit of wetness around the rubber dust boot on the clutch M/C. Pulled the boot off, and there was just a teensy smear of fluid on the

- Technically, yes, the fluid level in the reservoir will drop a tiny bit over time as brake pads wear and pistons have to reach further out of the bores, but hardly enough to notice. This has nothing

- I do not disagree with Rich, but will add as far as the question about leaks as described, they will generally slowly get worse over an extended period of time, not fail catastrophically. I would mon
