I've decided to tackle my brake issues head on by no longer applying careful thought and logic (which has got me nowhere in the last year) and attacking the whole system and throwing money at the problem!
Today I removed the rear brake servo and, when I removed the "vacuum air valve" found a reasonable amount of fluid and gunge in the "servo side".
I think I remember reading that this circuit should be air (or minus air) only, so could the presence of fluid here be the source of the air in my rear brakes which seems to have no decernable leak?
I thought it might be the servo as I seem to get air in the system with no measurable fluid going from the reseviour, so thought this could be the only potential place air could get switched for fluid with no net impact on the systems volume....
If fluid in the vacuum air valve is bad, I'm looking forward to a shiny set of new gold servos!
Cheers,
Alex
