Fred, hydroboost question

RobD · 2009-10-29T15:17:43-07:00

In this picture, I have circled the area where my hydro boost is leaking steering fluid. I know you know a lot about these systems and wondering if you have an idea what might be leaking at that area (it is where the reservoir meets the master) he fluid is leaking out the bottom where the two meet. Are there any seals in there that might need to be replaced? It seems to leak even when it is parked in my garage. Attached files

Can you tell if its leaking brake fluid or power steering fluid? If it's brake fluid I'd say a seal in the master cylinder has failed. If its power steering fluid I'm sure there's a seal in the booster to keep the fluid in. It's been a while since I've looked at mine so I can't say for sure.

You could try unbolting the m/c from the booster an pulling them apart a bit to look in there. Separating the m/c from the booster there wouldn't require bleeding the brakes and shouldn't leak any power steering fluid.
