I felt a little sponge-ness in my brake feel so I suspected it could be the vacuum pump. So I looked in the engine compartment and what do I find? A leaky vacuum pump.
I then read up all the posts regarding a leaky vacuum pump and it seems that it's a rather simple repair which is good news. I just have to decide whether or not I want to take it apart and reseal it or buy a new one. Since I have 70k miles on it, I am inclined to get a new pump but since some of the members said that the pump isn't really full of wear and tear parts inside, I am also very interested in rebuilding it myself.
I am looking for input. Thanks fellas.
