More 5K woes

["Paul Luevano" <prl@ptc.com>]

Qlist-

	First, I want to thank the list for all the suggestions, help, and
words of sympathy regarding my little "whoops".  I took the car to
several body shops, and it looks like it's going to run about $1600 to
fix, I think I'm going to fix it, because, other than the bodywork, the
car is solid, I eaven have new struts and springs, just waiting to go
in.

	Anyway, the car has been sitting in the garage for the past 2 weeks,
since the door will no longer close all the way.  The other day, I
noticed what looked like water under the car.  I thought nothing of it,
it's been raining here, you know. Anyway, it never dried.  This morning
I knelt down to check it out.  Hmm, clear oily substance.  Popped the
hood.  The brake fluid resevoir is almost completely empty.  WTF.  I
know it had nothin to do with my  "oops", but it is very disturbing.  

	It looks like it's leaking from right under the resevoir, where it
connects tot he MC.  I haven't investigated it much, I was just
wondering if anyone had any ideas what could be going on?  I have had to
top up the brake fluid a few time over the past year, ever since I had a
shop flush the system, so I think this is related.  Is there a seal or
anything that  might be messed up?  The brakes work fine.

	Any ideas?
