Took the Spit out on my day off friday and noticed that my once rock 
hard brakes were a bit mushy.  So I lifted the bonnet and found that my 
master cylinder is leaking.  The front reservoir was almost empty but 
the rear was still full.  I topped it off with some DOT 4 and ran my 
errands for that morning.  I stopped fine but once again my brakes used 
to be quite hard and responsive.  

So who out there has had MC problems.  I guess I'll rebuild the thing.  
I took the liberty to look for a kit friday but Dad didn't stock one.  
What should I look for in a kit or are these things even worth 
rebuilding?  Oh and the reservoir is not cracked I did check that.  I 
believe its one of the seals in the cylinder itself but without taking 
it off its hard to tell.

thanks in advance
