Cracked open the large clamps and slightly separated the booster halves, as per Dave De Rosier's advice (thanks) and found the front booster full of brake fluid. Have ordered the large diaphragm rebuild kit but am now unsure of the cause as some recent posts stated that a failing rear seal on the MC has the same effect as a failing rear seal on the booster.

Can anybody clarify? Brake fluid was mysteriously disappearing from the reservoir. The front booster (1969 dual-circuit, floor-mount MC) was full of fluid. What do I need to do to correct this? Thanks.
