It's been awhile since I had to fool with a hydrovac, so hopefully someone here can refresh my memory. Today, while out exercising the wife's 63GT, the brakes decided to act up. While sitting a light, with foot resting on the brake pedal, it began to drop, and stopped about an inch off the floor. I knew there was a problem, so gingerly returned home. ON the way home, the brakes would feel fine when initially pushed, but then the pedal would drop an inch or two. In the driveway, I pressed hard on the pedal several times, and eventually it went to the floor. Then I looked in the rear view mirror, and blue smoke was billowing out the exhaust. I am thinking the booster was shooting brake fluid into the intake. If so, where is the malfunction in the system? The booster? The check valve? Appreciate any input.
This is a new repro booster from SI, installed a few years ago. Up till now, it has worked perfectly.
Thanks
