In episode#2033, Oscar was losing brake fluid. You guys overlooked what I did some years ago. If it isn’t the MC then he should lift the flaps in the engine compartment over the wheel well. There will be a metal valve with brake lines coming into it. This is a pressure regulator valve and it leaks when it goes bad, but if you don’t know it’s there, it will appear the fluid is disappearing. I had the issue for 4 months and went through 4 gallons of fluid. Just an angle you never touched on, but more common than not. The part is about $35

Billy , you realize that you were listening to show that could have been years ago. There has not been a new show since 2012 I think.

I’m pretty sure Tom doesn’t.
