[s-cars] Hydraulic Fluid Level Up in 10 Minutes

[Mark Pollan]

G'day to you all,

 

Symptoms are as follows:

1.	Brake light on for about 20 seconds after start-up.
2.	30 - 40 pumps to discharge the bomb.
3.	Hydraulic fluid level in reservoir rises after only about 10 minutes
of the car sitting.
4.	Stock brakes feel soft (as always) but I have not had occasion to
properly bed them.

 

Having read the gyrations necessary to get to and replace the servo I hope
nobody points me there.  Is this most likely a bad check valve in the bomb?
I did flush the hydraulic fluid about 4 years ago and that decreased the
interval necessary for the brake light to go out.  None of this bothers me
other than I am concerned that I may be somehow overtaxing the pump?  Am I?

 

Regards,

 

Mark
