stopsy 2 Posted July 31, 2016 Im at my wits end, can anyone help. I hadnt visit my 1600E for a couple of weeks and on pushing brake pedal it went straight to the floor. I checked fluid and reservoir was empty. I had recently bleed the complete system. I filled reservoir and re-bled the system again yesterday which again had the brakes working well with very good feel at the pedal, but today the level has fallen slightly again. There are no evident leaks internally or externally, ive checked all connection etc, and there is no trace of fluid on the floor. Any ideas ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danish 294 Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Does it have a servo? Could the fluid be leaking from the m/c and collecting in the servo? Years ago I was losing *litres* of trans fluid from my auto box, I couldn't figure out where it was going - my mechanic noticed bluey smoke from the exhaust - the modulator was faulty and the engine vacuum was siphoning the gearbox and burning the ATF. :shocking: Edited July 31, 2016 by Danish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G.O 19 Posted July 31, 2016 Pull up the carpet under the pedals and check if its leaking past the push rod and dribbling down the inside of the bulkhead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rubberhead 4 Posted July 31, 2016 if its leaking into the servo it will burn a nice white smoke when your driving it,similar to head gasket symptoms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stopsy 2 Posted August 1, 2016 if its leaking into the servo it will burn a nice white smoke when your driving it,similar to head gasket symptoms. Thats what convinced me, took it for a gentle spin and it at one point bogged down a little and then gave a big plume of smoke out the back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
