More Plus2 Leaks
Discussion
First I was losing electricity in my Twink, then water, then oil - now it appears to be leaking brake fluid somewhere....
got in it this morning to drive to work and felt very little brake pedal pressure, so looked in the reservoir and it was right down at the bottom. Told the mrs and she said 'oh yeah, I thought they were a bit crap when I drove back last night', so presumably I now have some air in the system too...Anyway, filled back up with fluid and pumped the pedal a few times and watched the level - seems to be staying steady - however I did notice a puff of air being released noise coming from the servo. Difficult to check but I thnk it is coming out of the attached - the pipe is a bit loose, and surely it should have a jubilee clip on? If I had one I'd put it on and check, but thought I'd post this first, as well as asking if there are no visible fluid leaks on any of the calipers (all dry as a bone), and along any of the pipework visible, are there any other places I could be losing fluid from?
the only thing the Plus 2 doesn't seem to be using at an alarming rate is petrol, luckily that is just the opposite and it appears to be doing around 40mpg, at least there is some good news!
Cheers
