What is the experience of the group with regard to the master cylinders on TCs? Do they generally leak a few drops? Is this a problem requiring immediate attention? Thanks in advance. Tom

This is not really a problem until you are approaching the rear end of a stationary 20 ton tractor trailer at about 60 miles per hour and your brake peddle goes straight to the floor. At this point, it may be a slight problem. It's probably better to tend to it now. I love this group!
