[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1035818, member: 61136"] Being that the fluid only flows one way, towards the anti-lock module and brake calipers. I would tend to wonder if the master-cylinder cups are breaking down. Just thought though. I have never had fluid turn black. If it is the master-cylinder. You might want to arbitrarly replace it. 156k miles is alot of service life. You might get ahead of an emergency. If you do replace it get the alluminum one. It has an anodized finnish in the barrel, were the fluid contacts it. The cast iron ones can internaly rust from moisture assorbed by fluid. It was years ago an another ford. All my parts stores only had the cast iron replacements. So I took mine apart. the barrell was in excelent shape. So I bought a rebuilders kit. My original issue was the booster, but since it had 90k on it. I was going to do a complete job. [/QUOTE]
