I was repairing some of my heater pipes up under Oscar when I noticed some fluid on my master cylinder on the base where it meets up with the brake servo.  It wasn't coming from between the master cylinder and servo, it was coming out of a small hole on the master cylinder (not on the long side, but on the base, near the bottom).  I thought that it was a hole caused by rust and deterioration.  So, I bought a new one and put it on today.  When I got the old one off, I cleaned where the hole was and noticed it was too "perfect" a hole to be corrosion.  Is there a drain hole that leaks to warn you of worn seals on the inside of the master cylinder?  If so, I wonder if this is what this is?  It looks like the original master cylinder (the brake switches are VW).

Also, I replaced my brake hoses today, too.  The ones that I took off had date stamps of 3/77, and 6/77.  It make me wonder if these could be the same hoses that VW put on at the factory?  Oscar was made in 8/77... :-k

You Guys keep me "rattling" long stagnant brain cells. If I remember correcty, the little weep hole in the master is to keep the leaky master cly. from dumping fluid into your brake booster. :-k

I have seen weep holes in some master cly. and not in others. As far as repair kits go, I'm not sure if you can get one or not anymore. I guess we will have to start "rat holding" stuff when we come across them.
     You will get some fluid in the servo if the "non-weeper" starts to leak, but knowing you, you will detect a problem before it does any damage. Its amazing how much fluid a servo can hold.
