Mitch,
Your email arrived last night?
Did exactly that test, couple of times. No spots, the reservoir level didn't
change.
I've ordered a FTE master cylinder from Auto Haus AZ, $144 plus shipping,
should have that by Thursday evening.
Interestingly I can find rebuild kits for FTE MCs,

Thanks Randy. How easy was it to inspect the bore? Something that can be done
in a junk yard?
Time/money trade off: don't forget the risk of an accident when the inferior
cheapo master cylinder from FLAPS fails. SWMBO has decided she won't drive THE

If there are no obvious leaks, MC seems likely.
Leaks in lines, hoses or calipers should put fluid on the ground.
Which reminds me, the e320 had that sinking feeling when I moved it last night.
Need go move it again and check for spots in the
Very funny. The car type should ALWAYS be in the subject line.

I did the press and hold brake pedal test several times, engine running,
and then moved the car and looked for brake fluid (found none) and also

I have 123s - and I failed to find any rebuild parts for the
brake or clutch master cylinders.
I will see if I have one, although he does not have to pay me.
