I think you have summed causes up nicely. I don't recall anyone ever mentioning low fluid--though I don't know how many checked either.

Unfortunately, any one or more of the combination does lead to the failure mode. For those that have the ability to change and don't mind the loss of authenticity, believe alternatives are there. Even fixing the gasket, there is still the issue of valve not closing one time. That one, we still haven't found a true cause for---heat, moisture, angle, all the above, none of the above---it's still a guess..

For those that want to keep some semblance of originality, or can't spare any firewall real estate such as fact AC cars, then the only place is low and that presents a problem. For those that can spare some firewall, the solution is much less painful.
