update on my brake problem/leak

[scorpio71 at charter.net (Jeff)]

This kit you speak of sounds like tranny seals. Seems you have a crank seal
leaking. General rule says new crank seal on that end at the same time you
do clutch/tranny seals...kind of a "while you are there" situation...Hard to
make a long distance diagnosis though. Jeff
