Mick,
Your approach solved the problem. No more leak.
I was treating the seal like an oil filter rubber, wetting it.
Guess brake fluid particles are too slick or round to make that work.
Also, level is level. Duh. It never occured to me to rotate the assembly on the bars. That fluid was surely low for a bike with 1500 miles. But there don't seem to be leaks. Probably the clutch pack seating in and wearing.
Thanks again.
There was another lesson related to the experience. Unlike automotive master cyclinders, the Thunderbird's clutch MC doesn't react kindly to being pumped with the cover off...there is an "old faithful" effect.
