CLEARING THE FLUID LOSS!

The "COMPLETE" booster kit should include a new "ring" seal for that 
area.  It has the same tendencies to shaft/bore wear as the original - 
but with a not-so-smooth used rod.

The solution is to increase the sealing forces, without causing it to 
wear faster.  The technique is closely held by a very few professional, 
and non talkative, specialists.

One I can recommend from personal experience is "Smitty" in
San Diego. (619) 233-7937

He doesn't have an answering machine, and sometimes he can't hear the 
phone over the machinery
 -- so let it ring around 8-10 times and try back frequently.
He is NOT on the List, or the Internet.  But he sure knows Sunbeams.
