Re: treadle vac brakes

The condition came on fast and was cured by adding brake fluid to a very low/empty master cyl. Two months later I'm still symptom free and the brake fluid level has dropped about 1/4 inch. That's all I have.


If your brake fluid has dropped 1/4 inch in that two months, I'd have things checked. With that loss, and if there is no sign of any external leakage, about the only place left is a seal failing and it's getting sucked into the vacuum section. I'd be concerned whatever is allowing the leak could suddenly & completely fail.
