[Healeys] Brakes

[Fred Wescoe]

I am having issues with the brakes on my 66 BJ8.  I am new to this BJ8 with
boosted brakes, but I have owned a BJ7 for many years.  I don't find any
clues in the shop manual or in Norm Nock's tech talk manual.

When I press the brake pedal, it slowly goes to the floor.  I am losing
hydraulic fluid in the reservoir but there are no apparent leaks that I can
see.  There are no fluid spots on the garage floor at each wheel and no
evidence of brake fluid on the wire wheels which would indicate a leak.  I
have pulled each wheel and I do not see brake fluid anywhere.

Is it possible that the fluid is leaking into the brake booster?  How am I
able to check that out?  If this is the case, can the booster be repaired
by me or someone else, if so, who.  If fluid is leaking into the booster,
is it  better to simply replace the booster and who is a good source?

Something always happens before what promises to be a great sunny weekend.

Thanks for any help,

Fred
