Hey guys

Just a quick question my brake system is playing up sometimes when applying the brake I get an electrical pulse noise and then the brake becomes hard to apply and I am so how loosing a bit of fluid and a bit I mean I have had to fill from half way mark to max twice within a month. Any ideas of what it could be?

a leak maybe
 
Yes I assumed something is leaking, I replaced the NS Front caliper but have checked it and no sign of leaking. Is there a way of tracing a leak or is it just based on looking at the pipes while someone pumps the brake pedal

How else would u trace a fluid leak other than visual? But then master-cylinder seals could be leaking and the fluid is being stored in the rear vacuum reservoir.
 
The abs is at fault so believe it is disabled? I shall check the pipes tomorrow if its not raining to much .Discool is there a way to see if it is leaking into the reservoir? Or would I have to tale it all apart?

undo the 2 nuts securing cylinder to servo and pull it apart till you can see if its wet around end of cylinder
