Update: GTV6 Brake Leak/Smoking Engine

["Herbert Neily" <neily@domain.elided>]

    Many thanks to those who responded on- & off-digest.  Yes, my
disappearing brake fluid and 007 smoke screen were due to a failed master
cylinder seal allowing brake fluid into the booster servo and subsequently
into the intake plenum via the booster vacuum hose.  I pulled the MC off
this evening.  The recommended turkey baster w/rubber hose did a great job
of sucking the fluid out of the booster.
    I'm getting ready to order a MC rebuild kit, and I'm noticing that the
IAP catalog admonishes the buyer to determine the manufacturer of the MC
before ordering.  Aside from some seemingly meaningless random numbers
stamped on the body of the MC, I can't find any indication of the MC's
maker.  Also, I'm not sure if it's a 20mm or 22mm MC (though I suppose that
disassembly would make that fairly obvious - that'll keep me off the street
corners tomorrow night).  The booster servo is by Ate and I've got Brembo
front calipers and Ate rear calipers.  Does anyone know the secret code or
handshake that will let me know who made the MC?
    Thanks.
