That's a pretty significant amount of leakage, often a close look at the backside of the brake backing plates will show you which wheel cylinders are leaking. But if one cylinder is leaking its probably time for new or rebuilt cylinders and hoses all around, don't take chances when it comes to brakes!

An easy check other than a visual look-see to see if your master is leaking is to just pull the rubber boot back, if there is any fluid there, time for a rebuild or replacement.

Back to your question about the radiator, make sure you have a long stem radiator cap. If the radiator cap is too short, the cap will not seal tightly and fluid will flow out the overflow. A Stant R-6 is the right size for your 52.

When taking the wheels off are the bots and nuts all one piece ? What does the R stand for on them? I am taking off the right front wheel.

There are no lug-nuts, only lug-bolts which screw into the drum. They are standard threading, "Righty-Tighty, Lefty-Loosey"

Aren't the driver's side wheel bolts left hand threaded?

All the lug bolts come off "lefty loosey" no matter which side of the car you are doing.

For some reason I was thinking Packard used LH threaded bolts on the driver's side wheels. I know my 1956 Pontiac has LH studs on the driver's side.

Pontiac is made by GM - no relation to Packard.
