Does anyone know where I can get a Servo Seal Replacement Kit for a
1989 Escort?

Thanks

servo seals are difficult to get, expensive and hard to fit.  Just get a 
second-hand unit and swap it over.

I am looking for the Seal between the master cylinder and the servo
(doesn't look hard to fit). Wouldn't a second hand servo for this car
(Mk4 Escort) have to be at least 15 years old and therefore likely to
be just as bad as the one I have?

The seal is just inside the servo unit with a gap around the pushrod
allowing air in to the servo. I know that a Lucas kit SP2495 and a
Bendix kit 271001B should contain this seal but I don't know where I
can get one from. Having split the master cylinder from the Servo I
know that I have no fluid leaks.

The nice thing about a servo is that is fairly easy to test it on the bench, 
either with a vacuum pump or a long pipe from a running car inlet manifold, 
so you can test it before fitting.  Although there is a chance that a 
second-hand one will be faulty, they won't all be.  A breaker will charge 
about ten pounds, or just look at the side of the road for long enough and 
get your spanners out.
