Hi All! My 854ksq is losing brake fluid-
about 6oz. every two weeks or so. There are no noticeable leaks on the
garage floor or around the master cylinder. I replaced the front brake
pads recently and no leaks around there either- bleeder valves are tight.
Any suggestions?
Also, I'm still trying to
figure out this strange "click/knock" noise that has recently been
occurring. I've ruled out lifter/valve knock, cv joints, suspension
related noises, center support bearing (recently replaced) and the brake
booster/manifold vacuum pump (recently rebuilt). The noise sounds very
similar to lifter/valve knock. Once again, the symptoms are- it only
occurs when driving the car. It doesn't occur when revving the engine when
stopped- the engine revs smooth through the band, nor does it occur when
coasting at any speed. You can really hear it when applying heavy throttle
and seems to be loudest in cold weather, until the car is warn. The car
has an after market exhaust- stainless steel, 4'' pipes and glass packed
resonators. Wondering if the noise could be exhaust related?
Finally, the car is being
painted- yes enamel at a cheapie place. I couldn't see spending a third of
the cars value on paint. Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions on waxes
that will help protect an enamel finish? A clear coat was mixed in with
the final coat. Just looking for a little longevity.
