    Bart I personally have had it happen, surprised me too.
    And there is NOTHING wrong w/the booster/MC under the floor.
    If these hoses are old & the car had been sitting for a while I would change ALL 3 of the brake hoses just for safety sake. I call it cheap Insurance...joe

    Both are equally terrifying.

    ok, just seems like such a pain to check and fill the reservoir (bought a "hanging plant" waterer with a long upside down J tube to fill it with... works well, but need to put it on the lift to do), plus PO has the shaft for the pedal at a very slight angle (left/right). being rather "anal" everytime I see it, it bothers me. To change it would require recutting the firewall where the peddle goes through and moving it to the side about 1". Will change all the hoses as suggested.
