I just replaced the brake accumulator on my 90 with one from Prior Reman. I put it in yesterday and drove it around awhile, everything was fine (pedal was firm but good). Then today I was driving it and the ABS/Brake warning lights came on. I was close to home so I got home as quick as I could but before I did I lost my power assist (I'm assuming the motor got too hot and turned off, hopefully it's not dead. I'm going to check in a couple of hours). I checked for leaks after it first charged yesterday and everything seemed fine. The only thing that I coulds see being a problem is that yesterday I put a little too much brake fluid in (it was past the MAX mark). I was going to remove some today but this happened. When I popped the hood brake fluid had come out the cap and was all over the top of the reservoir. I took the cap off and and it was almost up to the top. Is it possible there is too much pressure or something? I couldn't tell if it was leaking around the base of the accumulator but if it was I don't think I'd have brake fluid overflowing.
I'm going to wait a couple hours then go and remove some of the brake fluid and see if the pump motor will work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
