Default Yeah, I know!

I shoulda done them all. My master cyl's, did one brake master about 6 mo's ago, now the clutch master is leaking, BAD!
I had heard that the british Girling seals didn't play well with our commonly available brake fluids, so I checked with the local British car guru, himself a Brit, and he said he used Castrol LMA with no problems. I have been experiencing quite a bit of corrosion in the cyls in the seal areas.
Anyone else having same problems? Also, where are some sources for Girling seals?

Motorhead,
Do you have Girlings because you have (I think) and early KMP or did you switch out?

Back in my high school days running an MG, LMA (low moisture activity) fluid was required for the English stuff. I never had any trouble after a rebuild even doing the whole MG, Triumph, Austin Healey, Jaguar, Lotus progression over the years.

Not related to your problem, I was just doing battle with a new hydraulic tob, finally went to the Russel Speed Bleeders, those have got to be worth every dime plus tax!
