update on my brake problem/leak

[danws69 at earthlink.net (Dan)]

Please check your coolant level immediately.
Otherwise, grab a good flashlight and get to trackin' it down. Fluids follow
the laws of gravity - also, does it leak even if it's parked?/ or only if
it's running (i.e., under pressure)?
