Well, I discovered the one rear wheel cylinder was leaking pretty good, and a trickle from the other.

They were a pair of wheel cylinders I'd picked up used, but recently re-built, and did not expect this problem.

The pistons are steel not aluminum, the inner seals are good. I assume it's likely that the castings bore is over-sized, or worn?

The front side measure 1.250" while the rear side measures 1.375", which I believe is the correct diameters, but I do see some areas that have some sign of corrosion.

Guess I'll did through my others pistons and find a better set. Any other suggestions or ideas or anything I should look at?

Will
