[ROVERNET - UK] Brake fluid question

[Ron Venter]

Ben,
          Congratulations on your acquisition. Where would the brake 
fluid go if it leaked out the back of the master cylinder? Into those 
hollow spaces in the body shell?
                                         Regards,
                                                   Ron V.
