Yet another posting on my newly aquired 1983 xs400! I was riding the other day when I noticed that my front brake felt a bit "squishy". I also noticed that there was maybe a little bit of moisture around the brake near the front tire. I just checked the brake fluid and it's basically empty. I'm off to go but some more, but it seems I might have a leak. Is this common? What should I do?

not usual, need to get either new seals or new brake hose depending where the leak is. seals are only supposed to have a 5 year life and fluid 2 year!!
