Bob,
There shouldn't be fluid in that boot. Your Master Cylinder is leaking. Fix asap.


I have two MCs on the bench. Both are 1-1/8". Pretty sure one was on a G.

I noticed a strange thing happening with my master cylinder.  The rubber
boot on the pedal side of the master is torn and leaks occasionally.  The
brakes are working fine, but I'm sure the best thing to do is remove and
rebuild the cylinder with new rubber parts, as the boot is included in the
rebuild kit. 

Here is my question.  NAPA still has availability of the kits, but they show
two different sizes for the 300G with power brakes, a 1" and a 1-1/8" bore.
I had not heard of this before and asked him if he was confusing it with
manual brakes, and he said no, that is yet another kit, #319 (which is on
our website as being available through NAPA).

So....without taking the thing apart first, does anyone know if it should be
a 1" or 1-1/8" cup?  Why would there be two sizes?  Even the factory parts
book only shows one for the application.
