I think you've answered my question.  The car had been moved in and out of my 
garage (either under my own power or it's own).  So it could be the problem.  
I'm hoping.  Garage is elevated and pushing it in and out would have made a 
rocking action and pushed the fluid up and down the tunnel I suppose.  Last 
night I stood on the brake pedal as had as I could.  Not reduction in the 
fulid level of the resoviour and I had plenty of brakes.  Ie Hard.  I'm hoping 
your right.

Reconditioned by the same guy who has done the two rear wheel cylinders and 
two further MBC.  I've never had a problem with his work before so am ruling 
that out.  No leaks on any part of the MBC that I've found.

No  The only moist area is either side of the tunnel in the front bulkhead.  
Inside on the floor of the car is dry.  Can only assume that the pipe might 
have "spring a leak".
