Brake Work??

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

well not to interject, but if I was in his position and the seal broke and
spew amount of oil all over the wheel, I would at the very least inspect the
calipers and pads to see if the pads got soaked or not, brakes are the
single source of mechanical devices that save your life and permit you to
keep control over your vehicle.

=>I have found that most enthusiasts replace a lot of things that don't need
=>replacing.  I would think that even if you car was using a quart a day it
=>wouldn't be enough to soak the pads as they would probably burn
=>up any drops
=>of oil from the motor.
=>
=>Then again, if your brakes aren't working normally, I'd still diagnose it
=>before replacing a bunch of stuff that may not need replacing.
=>
=>Just my opinion!
