Common type 44 problem - replace brake master cylinder for instant cure. Do
a flush while you're in there anyway.

I'm becoming very fond of these "lifetime guaranteed" parts at the various
auto parts places - when the replacement part goes bad in a few years (as
it invariably does), you get a new one free, and all you have to do is
install it. That beats going to the dealer where you PAY ROYALLY for a part
that will go bad in a few years anyway, and you have to install, and then a
few years later PAY ROYALLY AGAIN and install again.

What I really want is a lifetime guarantee CAR - that way when something -
anything - breaks, I can just take the whole damn thing back and they will
promptly give me another one, for free. Just switch the license plate and
the junk in the trunk, and drive away happy . . .
