- In my Ford, *very* slow and smooth braking triggers the
- "brake failure" alarm, while a good kick doesn't and even
- restores the system to normal. Apparently, it is a leaking
- rubber seal in the master cylinder. Does anyone know about
- any stuff I can add to the brake fluid to soften the seals
- and stop the leak?
- I used such thing for power steering, and it helped.
