Scary moment (change your brake grommets!)

[Robert Deis]

I've had a slow drip out of the brake resevoir for some time dur to the
rubber grommets being eaten away. I've been keeping an eye on the level
until I got a chance to repair the leak, but it got low on me about a
block from home and the brakes suddenly got **really** soft.  Yikes!

New grommets installed, flushed and filled the system, and all is well.
The Valvoline synthetic brake fluid is starting to yellow already after
only a year of use, but since the previous fluid was dark and full of gunk
I guess it makes some selse not to expect it to stay fully clean.

Got replacement parts from TPS for under $5, I think.

Now time to flush & fill the pentosin....
