Brake pressure accumulator leakdown

[quk@isham-research.demon.co.uk (Phil Payne)]

When I leave the car for more than a few minutes, the brake pressure
accumulator leaks down to the point where the engine has to run for
quite a few seconds to turn out the brake warning light.

The bomb has been replaced (after my shunt) so the main/only candidate
is the servo (# 857 612 107C).  Disconnecting the servo to reservoir
return line at the reservoir end and placing it in a measuring glass -
it drips steadily.

I had always thought this was a sign of a dead servo, and that this was
probably the cause of my leakdown.  But the microfiche says not to
worry about this line dripping.

(... ein tropfenweiser Austritt ist bedeutungslos.)
