Default SLP line lock craped out... help

Well it stoped working on me.. I can hear it clicking so it's getting power but it wont hold the pressure. It kind of does but not near what it needs to/use to.

Do I need to rebuild it or what?

how long have you had it on the car? i know with my linelock after i activate it i pump the break pedal a few times to build up pressure then it holds fine.

I've had it over a year I think. I've never had to pump the pedal.

Ive had my SLP LL for over 2 years now with no issues..... Do you think bleeding the brakes could help?

The master cylinder is full. I did a burnout today just using the foot brake to see if my front brakes would hold and they did but the car kicked to the left (driver side) really hard. My car has never kicked sideways this hard.

when I first installed my Slp Line lock, I didnt tighten the fiting down tight enough and it did the same thing, look around it when you are messing with it to check for any brake fluid sounds like a leak to me. but im no expert

still not working no leaks. It's clicking so I know it has power, and it doesn't "unclick" untill I let off the button.. pumping the pedal doesn't help any either.
