Master Cylinders...
I think I need a new Master Cylinder, but someone please prove me wrong! I went on a little roadtrip yesterday, and had to hit the brakes hard a couple times for railroad tracks, washboards, etc...I noticed today that the pedal would lose pressure, I'd let off, and it would build it back up, and it was fine. There is no fluid leaking, brake hoses aren't that old, and I don't see anything wrong with the vacuum hose or check valve. I found some on Ebay:
and, Would these work fine, or should I just buy new? Also what kind of a job is it to DIY? The Honda UK Site is still down, pisses a guy off it does!  thnx!!

Yes this is a classic symptom of a internally leaking master cylinder. BTW Take my advice and go OEM Dealer on this part. I've had issues with Brake and Clutch Hydralic parts from aftermarket on the legend.

Thnx Steve-o! I'll maybe try a few salvage yards, and see what I can find, hopefully get a known working part. Is it a big job, cuz when it comes to brakes, i'm

Thanx all!!! I called Acura this morning, and he said a brand new M/C is about $340, but rebuilt, or aftermarket is $115, and he recommended that. No known problems, so I think thats the plan of attack...thanks!
