As you know, I am moving incrementally slow here while filling my brake
reservoir...
I first filled just the brake's bf, and after a day and a half later it seemed
to try and equalize levels with the clutch bf letting me know that I may have
'compartmental transfer' (Although the reservoir itself does not leak).
A day ago, I concluded the above and wrote about the observation. At this
time, I also filled both chambers completely to the brim.
Today, both chambers levels have gone down; the clutch's has gone the most
down (over half way). I am not in a hurry. The car is on scaffolding so that
I haven't gotten under it to check for possible leakage. This rate of
depletion of bf is proably perfectly normal. Both c&b pedals are completely
up and have never been touched during this procedure. All hydraulic lines
have been run.
What this is telling me is that both b&c systems are graddually filling up
of their own accord. Maybe just their MC's. I know that they won't bleed
themselves! But, this may account for the previously seen 'compartmental
transfer'. I guess this may go on for another day or so. Am I right in
thinking this is normal? Does it indicate a leak or an open brake or clutch
bleeder nipple? Certainly, it won't bleed itself will it? (Proably just make
the job a little easier.)
Thanks, Paul
