Default 1994 XJS V12 braking issue

I posted to a thread earlier but my solution did not seem to work. On my 1994 XJS V12. The booster did not work and I'm getting weak braking in the rear wheels , although I can lock the front wheels up if I stomp really hard on the pedal.

I replaced the accumulator which did not help. Here's what's interesting;

When I removed the accumulator, I was expecting brake fluid to spray all over the place but this did not happen, even though I did not pump the pedal while the motor was off.

Furthermore, there's a rubber line from the abs pump to the firewall which I assumed initially was a vacuum line or a fluid line. However aside from a couple of droplets, there was no brake fluid and no vacuum.

Any ideas?

Oh b*ll*x, I managed to break the little plastic elbow on the rubber hose that goes to the ABS pump. Anyone know the part #. I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks
