Re: Repeat M/C leak from reservoir lid
It is a weird deal. The fluid is not moving from one reservoir to the other (the rear reservoir is maintaining level while the front is being pushed out of the lid) and I didn’t recently top it off before it started leaking. The vacuum source is fine and the brakes actually work just as good as they always did. It just seems to push fluid out of the lid once it is driven for a while, which leads me to think the rear brake hose is goofed up inside. One of the first things I looked at was the prop valve to see if it came off center. From what I can tell it is still centered and I get all four wheels to lock up when hammering the brakes in the dirt. Craziest thing. Even more crazy it is just started one day out of the blue. No fluid was added, no brake pads or shoes changed, nothing…..
