Had heaps of brake problems recently. Twice a week or so, I just lose all brakes. Back home I bleed the system and its ok again. Couple of weeks ago, I REALLY lost them. Had to drive home using handbrakes during peak hour. No bleeding made any difference and there were no leaks anywhere so I assumed must be the mc. Messy job but had to do it. Pulled it out, took it to the local brake guy, he re-sleeved it and replaced the seals. Stopped at the servo on the way back to grab some brake fluid. Didn't like the BP look so grabbed the bottle next to it. By the time I fit the mc it was getting dark. Filled the system with new fluid, bled the whole thing and started to get pressure again. All is happy till the next morning. No really pressure again and weird smell inside car. Looked at the firewall where the mc is and saw pink fluid. F#*&%. Went to check the reservoir, and its all pink. Louder f#*$%. Grabbed the fluid bottle and it said Power Steering Fluid. @#%^&$. Off comes everything, drained the whole thing again and all is well now. Phooh
