A200 Hydraulic pump leak, and servo issues

[Geraint Lloyd]

Hi,
the car is a 10v 200tqa

I have a dribble from one of the caps (that require
the modified 'drag 
link tool' to remove)  on the front part of my
hydralic pump.

I have a  rebuild kit that came with the car. should
that tell me 
something?

my questions are:
1. is it worth replacing the o rings under only one of
the caps, or does 
a leak there suggest that the whole pump needs an
overhaul so doing one 
is a waste of time?
2. do the mechanical parts of the pump fail or is it
generally just the 
seals?

I have seen stuff in the knowledge-base about how to
rebuild pumps, but 
not why- hence the questions.

on another note, I have a leak from the hydr brake
servo.
i bought one from a scrappy and have replaced all of
the seals (that I 
could get at!).
i plan to swap it this weekend
i'll do a write up if it works, since the 200 servo is
different to that 
of the Urs etc.
still, if anyone else has experience in this area, i
would appreciate 
hearing from you.

Geraint
