<VV> brake probem?

[corvairduval at cox.net]

Ray,

Either the system has air, or it doesn't. Air does not come and go as a
problem....

Unless there is water in the system and it boils, thefore producing vapor
(a compressible substance, not good in hydraulics). Then when the
temperature falls, it condenses back to liquid. If the brake fluid has been
in the system for over two years, it could have absorbed water, which is
why experts say to flush DOT 3 systems every two years. Not that I follow
that rule all the time....

A friend suggested maybe there is a little air in the system somewhere.
 I'll bleed it really well and see I guess, but the scary thing is that if
this isn't the cause we will have another momentary brake failure which if
at the wrong moment could be scary.  Hopefully in bleeding the brakes I'll
see/hear some air escape and know that it was likely the cause.
