Since I change my brake master cyclinder and the copper lines my brakes have been playing up, since I'm rubbish at describing the fault here's a vid

I've tried the wizard but he being no help as he just says try the same thing that I already said I did, namely, pump the peddle till its solid then start the engine, the puddle should drop down abit which it does.

I've now replaced the rubber seal that goes round the master cyclinder and sits inbetween it and the servo but no help, without taking the head off or the engine out working on it is next to impossible.

Any ideas would be a great help guys as my MOT is up on the 28th and if it doesn't pass I won't make it to national day:cry:

Thats what I thought but everyone test of the servo points to it being fine and is an air leak somewhere.

I've checked the 1 way valve and thats ok.

I'm at my wits end, I know I'm gunna have to pull the engine out to get to it properply but I'd like a ruff idea of what I'm looking for before I do it
