Hey guys,

Kev, I went out to check the bore on that cylinder and those spots didn't wipe off, so it is most certainly pitted. The location of my reservoir takes a lot of the blame here. I have it mounted on my inner fender where it is directly under the crack of the hood/fender. I'm sure some water found its way into the vent hole on the cap. I'm going to relocate the reservoir somewhere "better". I am so glad this problem reared its ugly head on my routine check-up and not on the road. This should be a warning to any of you all to make sure your brake system is in good working order, even if it seems to be working fine.

Question: If I have bled the brakes to where I am only getting clean-golden fluid, do I still need flush out the system?
