Brake problem

[Bernie Benz]

Scott,

Sounds just like a sludged up check valve in the master cylinder to me.
Never happens in a well maintained hydraulic system.  You believe in the
tooth ferry, too?

Bernie, some things actually happen without your input.
Heat to the MC from the radiator fan or other source has made documented
cases like this happen.
Be it: 
Fluid expansion, seals which swell, or the warping of the
cylinder...........
The heat causes the brakes (or just one) to drag.

Don't believe me?  BTDT, water or wet rag around the MC makes it go away
instantly.

I don't believe it, Kneale.  What's to warpp?  Routine PM is a good
preventative.
