I just bought a 1948 Roadmaster Convertible and am I need of the same part.  It is leaking and covered in fluid and I don’t know what to do. What part of it is prone to leaking and can I rebuild it or is there a kit to rebuild it.  Any suggestions?  I don't understand what the Bakelite portion does but have not seen Bakelite hold up on anything this old especially as a functioning moving part.    Thank you
