hi. my 2000 9-3 convertible suffers from the well documented "leaking hydralics" problem. i've read Enzo's famous post on how to refill the reservoir and do it regularly - in fact, therein lies my question...
it seems like i have to refill the reservoir every 6 weeks. at $40 a bottle (1 bottle lasts me two refills), it beats the $2500 hydraulkic cylinder repair - but I still wonder whether there is anything I (generally unskilled around the car) can do to make a refill go longer?
for instance, does it matter whether the top is left up or down as far as the speed with which the hydraulic system leaks? is there a way to plug the leaks without potentially damaging the motor? any thoughts would be greatly helped as this is turning into a chronic issue...
