Brake servo and condensation

Post by tim »

Seem to be getting alot of condensation on the bottom of the servo/brake assembly...Thought it was brake fluid to start with, but not always there..anyone else have his problem? any ideas?

Could be a leaky windscreen..... A vac leak might artificially cool it too.. but only on a run..
:? looking at my servo after a run is not a regular thing I do!!!! :lol:

Checked windscreen, wiper arms, washers...had dash pod off, no sing of leaks, felt all round, behind etc and no sign of fluid leaks.....the bottom of the servo/pedel assembly where the 2 bolts are, above the brake pipe was soaking (condensation) ...and hasn't been driven..still restoring!!

its coz its a thick lum of metal... doesnt change temp very quickly and no airflow to remove the moisture... get all the doors open on dry breezy days...
check under the mats for water ingress... a leaky windscreen can do it for ages without showing signs of it... very comon too..
