[s-cars] Brake pressure accumulator, plus...

[Eric Phillips]

Mine isn't leaking, fluid right up to the top, no brake pedal funkiness, but 
the light stays lit for about 15-20 sec. after releasing the p-brake, then 
goes out, and doesn't do it again until the car has been standing for over 
4-5 hours. I'd rather not replace my bomb, either. :)
 I also understand that a "hissing" on acceleration is a sign of some 
intake-side related leak in the plumbing? I was going to goto SAMCO and get 
some hoses, but not right away. I'm going to try and keep this car, however, 
and I don't want to do damage by leaving something wrong for long.
