fluctuating Pentosin level

[Fred Munro]

Hi Luke;

The check valve on your bomb is probably leaking. When you stop the engine,
the pressurized fluid stored in the bomb leaks past the check valve back
into the reservoir, increasing the fluid level. When you start the engine,
the hydraulic pump takes fluid from the reservoir and puts in back in the
bomb, decreasing the reservoir level.

> For one thing, the return line from the resovoir is old and leaking
slowly, any ideas/tips on replacing?  But also, when i turn on the car,  the
fluid level drops about 3/4 of an inch.  of course the problem here is that
if it has leaked enough the brake warning light comes on 2-3 minutes after
the engine is turned on.  wondering if youall have had that same problem(the
fluctuation i mean) tia, Luke '86 5kcstq
