I didn't know about that drain before, I figured the puddle under the car was from another car in the driveway when I looked at her, since VW have nothing to drip in the central pan, unless the fuel line(s) or brake line is shot. I was wrong. The car was back end down hill on the drive. They pushed her out, jammed on the brake pedal, the MC exploded, and the brake fluid drained down the tunnel, to the drain, where it now drips. This will get cleaned and flushed this weekend. All brake lines are still shiny, and the hoses are useable, but wil be replaced at first possibilty, as you never know inside, and they might collapse inside anyway. I think rebuilding/replacing MC, and cyl, flushing the system out, and the usual brake rebuild should do it. Thanks for all the help, mystery brake leak is debugged! As for the wires, Bentley should have the diagram, just going to buy one on Amazon.com Al ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
