Phil, this happened to me. I got the master resleeved, rebuilt and it is
still weeping. I betcha other folks are running on rebuilds just fine,
though.

In other words, I gotta partially disassemble the suspension to inspect.
Darn!

Don't forget the side-intrusion beams and the ABS! :-)
Unfortunately, the same prob still exists for Mk I owners:
fouling the boot doors. We need a solution. I wonder if the
uprights on a roll bar had a "dog-leg" on them to clear the
boot doors, if they would interfere with rearward vision?
BTW, yesterday was like X-mas. Not only did I get my order
from Sunbeam Specialties, but I came home to my August
copy of Classic & Sportscar (weeks after everybody else, I
suspect) and my order of TigersEast shirts and hats. They
look great, really bold graphics!
