Hey guys, let me start by saying that my car is loosing P/S fluid from the X plug area on the pump. I have the plug along with all the seals that go on the pump, on order at the local dealership, they'll be here in a day or 2.

The fluid level in the reservoir never got below the minimum mark, I always top it up (using the Pentosin CHF fluid).

But today, I was on a steep incline waiting to merge into the traffic, I had my foot on the brake, but the car was inching forward and I had to press the pedal harder (almost to the floor). Also in traffic, the braking is weaker and if I try to slow down by pressing the pedal steadily and over a longer distance, it looks as the brakes are loosing their bite. I shut the engine off and the firs pedal had pressure, while the next ones went alot lower. To me it seems like the bomb could be on the way out, but I wanted to run it by the gurus, because of the coincidence with the P/S fluid or pressure leak.

Any imput is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Florin

I think "almost to the floor" = brake servo not "bomb" issue.

Master cylinder more likely.
