Ross:
As someone who's just been through this, let me hazard a guess that all your
brake fluif went right into your booster, and you've got a bad brake M/C
main seal.
I'd strongly suggest pulling the M/C right away and rebuilding/replacing it.
And oh yeah -- you'll get to pull the booster too, and shake out all that
DOT 3 fluif through the vacuum port. But don't worry, that's the easy
part. ;-)
