I can not emphasize enough Ross' words about "brakes just worked on by your worst enemy".
I, for one, just planned to check the brake fluid level, and ended up replacing all 4 wheel cylinders, brake lines, brake shoes and lining sets rear and a rebuild of the BTV.
I found 2 leaking wheel cylinders, 2 single flares and rust on the lines and in the wheel cylinders, and the BTV vacuum cylinder filled with rust/brake fluid.
In addition the reservoir cover gasket was covering the hole allowing any leaking fluid to return to the reservoir.
