Bomb light coming on - '90 CQ

[Kneale Brownson]

There is a line coming off the booster right behind the brake master cylinder. 
Starts out as a piece of brake pipe and then becomes a hose.  Goes into the
reservoir at the top of the reservoir.  Should be only one line, one connection
to the reservoir.  In the Bentley for the 5k cars, page 47.20, it says to
unscrew the return line at the servo.  If hydraulic oil runs continuously (with
the engine off), the servo is bad.  If only a few drops come out, it's OK. 
I've never unscrewed the metal pipe.  I've undone the hose clamp holding the
hose to the reservoir.  

Your description sounds like you're looking at the return line from the "bomb"
to the reservoir.  That goes to the bottom of the reservoir.  Again, you want
to go to the booster, or servo, that the master cylinder mounts to.
