The joys of owning a 56 year old Corvette..... still fiddling with the brakes.  When I drove to Flagstaff, pedal got softer, almost no pedal by the time I got back home.  Been parked for a couple weeks.  Today had a mechanic come over, discovered that THREE of the new NAPA calipers were leaking.  The honeymoon is over.

Old brake fluid and Chevrolets four piston calipers with long periods of sitting is a common problem. There used to be a kit to resleave the calipers for these.

Yup, but he's just put NEW calipers on it, and they're already leaking.
