I tried to replace the o-ring on my brake servo unit (or brake booster, whatever it is called) a couple weeks ago, and I was not successful. I disconnected a lot of power steering lines and moved the brake master out of the way, but was unable to remove the tamper proof screw to allow for replacement of the o-ring.
Today I decided to check the PS fluid level because I had not needed to add any recently (as would have been evidenced by a growling PS pump early one morning) and ...
Well, it appears that the level is the same as it was a couple weeks ago. I'm baffled, frankly.
I'll give it some time and continue to check it, but maybe one of the lines I removed was loose, or maybe some self-healing took place when I put everything back together.
Who knew? Maybe my 8 just needed a little wrench-attention.
