Sounds like your Brake Sphere has something to do with this. No pressure on your brakes would point to this, Change the Sphere and see what happens. This should restore the pedal and stop the Bleeding off that you Describe.

Now that I have asked for parts, can anyone help me nail down my problem.

I have an 89 750.

When the car is started cold it is fine. At least no noise from the power steering pump.

At startup I have no brake pedal. All of the presure in the bomb has been blead off. I have to wait 5 seconds for the pressure to build back up or I have no brakes.

After driving the car for 10 minutes the pump starts to whine rythmicly like it is not getting fluid. Durring the whining the wheel is hard to turn.

When I step on the brake at this point it makes the car whine.

If it is a hot day the rythmic whine will become continous.

I have already pulled the filter out of the bottom of the resevior and cleaned and fulshed the system several times to be sure that that is not it.

Thanks

Ed
