Steve, Bob, and List,
Oh, hell -- it's just me shooting my mouth off without thnking too hard
about it. I suppose one of the definitions of "fluid" is something
incompressible. I must have read someone else's BS and let it enter my
memory without a credibility check. Oops! Please forgive the bad poop.
OTOH, I think there is something to the issue -- sponginess of the pedal
being the symptom, but now I can't remember why. Does this ring a bell with
anyone? I am familiar with the fact that the rubber seals don't swell with
silicone as with DOT4, and that this may cause leakage.
