Hei,

Can anyone help with a brake problem?  At rest when I depress the
brake pedal, it is initially firm and then slowly sinks to the floor.
 If I release the brake pedal and then step on it again, it firms up
immediately.  The fluid level in the master cylinder remains constant
and I can't find any leaks. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, My fuel pump was leaking around its seals.  I tightened every
visible screw and that seemed to stop the leaks.  the curiosity is
that initially, the fuel filter (clear plastic) was full.  After I
fixed the leak and drove for a bit the filter was almost
empty.  The engine is running fine and you can actually see a small
amount of fuel being drawn throught the filter, but again there is
hardly any fuel going through.  I've been told to ignore this as long
as my engine runs but I'm vaguely worried as I commute daily in this
thing.  Any comments?
