I have an original cap and after bleeding the brakes and heading out for a tour I noticed fluid on the bottom side of my hood (I cleaned it off right away) and the top of the cap. Will the cap go bad? What is the purpose of the little hole at the top of the cap? Will this be sucking air into the system?
I had done the bleeding because I had a faulty crimp on a braided line that was pushing fluid between the clear plastic sheath and the steel braid on the back. While at it I decided to switch my front pads to Porterfields. My pedal now seems to have way too much initial travel and although we thought we had gotten all of the air out, we must have air in the system.
I have SAAC rear Wilwoods and the stock Girlings with Porterfields, no proportion valve. I have never been able to get them to lock up, tonight it seemed as one rear locked up first after repeated hard braking.
Any ideas or help is appreciated.
