The best thing to do is to flush the system with castrol gtlma dot 4
brake fluid. This may cause the old seals to leak so be prepared to
rebuild the brale system soon after. You may also have a bad brake
hose, when it gets hot and you step on the pedal it ballons up at a
weak spot. This is very dangerous and should be checked out
IMMEDIATLY. Have a helper step on the pedal while you inspect the
hoses.
I hope to also see you in va.
