Hi all. Apologies ahead if this isn't the right place to post this.
No surprise, I'm having some issues with my PM. 51,000 miles. All original. No brake light on, no hard brake feeling, but when the pedal is depressed she's leaking fluid. I haven't determined exactly where its coming from (proportioning valve??). The level in the reservoir does not drop. (Actually, even when starting the car, the fluid is not being sucked down).
To be clear - I have very limited mechanical abilities. (Yea, I know - great idea with a 27 year old car, huh!). I have been reading on here to try and learn what I can. I know what the reservoir is. I know what the master cylinder is. And that's probably about it!
Normally Jim Dunn in PA would be doing my work. But being 110 miles away, can't exactly drive it there. I'm wondering if there's anyone local in NJ (I'm in Morris county) that would be willing to give a hand? I'm not a rich guy, but I understand time is money, and I would pay you for your time.
I have my "every day" mechanic of 14 years that runs a large garage, but neither the owner nor any of his 3 mechanics are familiar with this system. I trust them, but I get a bit particular about my T.
Open to suggestions and help. Thanks in advance.
