Checked it the other day, looks like fluid loss stopped...there *was* a mess under the car one night .... gave a cursory look-see to find this weep hole, will check closer tonight. Steering may be acting up a little too ...

If weep hole on booster is clean, looks like I got a marginal bomb last year, huh ... was replaced in June by dealer (under extended warranty), so I'm out of the 1 year warranty as well. &$#^$%($

Thanks for the input!

How much of a loss of fluid have you had after the hard braking started? When the bladder lets go in the bomb the nitogen escapes an the space is filled with p/s fluid.Maybe 250 or 300 cc. Did you have to add only once? or is the leak on going? Wet under the car? As suggested check the weep hole in the booster on the brake master cyl. Maybe just a defective bomb. By the way is your steering normal? Coop
