Ross:
When you say 'when the car is stopped', d'you mean with the engine off? That
makes a difference, especially if the car is fitted with a vaccuum-assist
brake booster. It's not normal if the car is running, or no brake booster is
fitted, for you to pump the brakes a few times to get nominal pressure up.
I'd renew the oil filler cap once a year or so. The factory recommendation is
once every 12 000 miles.
PCV Valve is a check every 12 000 miles/renew every 30 000 miles item.
I don't believe the windshield washer system was intentionally designed to
leak, but that's a matter that's open to some question. Just to be certain,
I'd check the fittings and the ends of the hoses; they do tend to
deteriorated and split.
And no, ask all the questions you like. I do.
