Hey all-
So, I'm sitting, idling for about 10 minutes when I
notice that the brake light stays on, indicating low
hydraulic fluid.  So I pop the hood and VOILA!  I have
about 3 shot glasses of pentosin left.  This is my
third pump in 6 months, SOOO I was thinking something
might be causing these things to go.  Right before
failure, I notice the pump mooing more than usual and
slight bleeding out of the X plug.  Didn't check for
the bleeding this time, though.  Just noticed a lot of
noise generated by the pump.  Could it be that the
line going from the pump to the bomb is clogged,
building up pressure and making the pump go boom?  I
also noticed that the light stays on in the morning
for about 10 seconds or so.  Help me.

Thanks,
Joe
