So whenever I flush my top floor toilet, use the sink or shower I get water dripping down the main waste pipe in the basement. My guess is a crack in the cast iron pipe. My house is all plaster walls and the bathroom floor is tile over mudboard over metal mesh. Looks like the only way to find the leak is rip up the bathroom floor. Which pretty much means I may as well just redo the whole bathroom. Yea for old houses.

Good luck with that Pete. I helped my Dad replace his entire stink pipe, but he had a plumber friend help him figure out how to do the least damage. We had to knock a hole in one wall and sectioned the thing there, the basement and the attic.

Nasty job

I finish my Dragon maintenance last night. Speed bleeders are so win. I won't ever bleed brakes on another car without them.

Not good for track application though. They have a tendency to allow air back in.

speed bleeders kick the power bleeders ass. I have one and it worked... ok at best for a while until the hose sprung a leak and shot brake fluid everywhere... not good.

Best way to use a power bleeder is to NOT put the brake fluid in the container. Simply crack seal and refill master cylinder as needed.

And the best method I've used out of the three is gravity bleeding.

Speed bleeders are great for a annual or every few year bleed (non track use) but they don't get all the air 100% out, powerbleeder does.

Do not put flud in the power bleeder as they have you, that method can cause much

if not 100% sealed.

I see George has already addressed this.
