RE: brake recall
I had that recall work done in July and it fixed the problem, but the stealer did incorrectly overfill the master cylinder with fluid. I didn't know it leaked because of an overfill, I thought it all leaked out because he pinched the gasket. So, I decided to install a new gasket and refill the master cylinder myself once the fluid stopped leaking. When I took the top off the master cylinder I found the gasket was fine and I had plenty of fluid, but I added more fluid because of what I had lost. I tightened down the top real well and you guessed it, it started leaking again! Oh well, it should stop in the next 500 miles or so when it gets to the proper level...
