Sorry- don't know the answer but would like to! But on that subject I noticed a bit of wettness around the rubber actuator rod seal on mine but it works fine and the fluid level doesn't go down. Likewise, when I looked at the rear (that I changed today) a year ago there was evidence of a lot of leaked fluid- sticky black goo everywhere and the shoes very wet- but today the shoes were bone dry and the brakes have worked for a year fine with no noticeable drop in fluid level. Is it possible that after a car stands unused for a long time (18mths in my case) that the cylinders develop a ridge or light rust or something that causes them to leak for a while when you first use them again, but that clears itself up again after a while? And is this therefore a reason to rebuild them or is it safe to keep using them like that? Of course with brakes it has to be a case of safe rather than really sorry, so I guess I'm waiting on the answer to this as well- only mines a '73.
