This is a good call! The original one in the car had cracked and been
welded. I replaced it with a junkyard one, and it didn't fix anything
but it WAS a good suggestion.

Last weekend I replaced the hose going from the reservoir to the master
cylinder, drained and pressure-bled the system. Didn't do any good at
all but the original hose was a little grotty.

Next weekend the project is going to be to change the hose and pipe
between the master and slave cylinders, JUST so I can say I have replaced
everything.
