[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 573337, member: 20098"] A failed servo wont actually affect the brakes, it just means you'll lose the assistance in braking pressure and will need to use more leg work instead. Maybe the mechanic was referring to the master cylinder? A quick way to check this is to push down hard on the pedal whilst stationary and seeing if the pedal slowly sinks to the floor. But as above, it sounds more like something is causing the fluid to heat up and the brakes begin to fail. This problem will be exaggerated by old fluid that has absorbed moisture over time. [/QUOTE]
