... I don't know about your bleeding problems ... perhaps the bleed nipple
is plugged? I'll bet that the hydraulic fluid reservoir overflow is a
simple overfilling ... I'll bet just about every ur-q owner has done it.
You open the reservoir and don't see any fluid and think that you've got a
problem so that you refill it. If you read the owner's manual it tells you
that you check the level in the reservoir after shutting down the engine and
depressing the brake pedal 30-40 times.
Do you really have Pentosin in the hydraulic system? My '83 QTC is running
the specified Dexron ATF ...
