I have noticed an extremely slight leak around my master cylinder somewhere,
perhaps just in the fluid reservoir, but it is so slow that it doesn't
bother me much.  It has been there for about three years and I've never even
had to top off the fluid.

Re: car covers

I use one of those cabin covers with the straps and such and I love it.  I
can install and remove it faster than I can raise the top, especially if the
wind is blowing the right direction.  I figure it's better for the top, too,
since there is probably a limit to the number of times the top can be raised
or lowered before wearing out.  It also allows wind to keep the interior
cool in the sun, unlike making a "greenhouse" by putting the top up.  My
cover (I call it a "tent") is developing some wear spots and has torn around
the trunk strap so I'll probably replace it soon.  Definitely worth the $50
or whatever.
