a bunch of little things just went wrong...

87 NA 5 spd

- leaking brake and/or power steering fluid...can't tell from where; checked the brake master cylinder and looks like brake fluid might be coming from between the master cylinder and the black circle box thingy/brake booster...

- bleep coming from dash - one bleep, pause, one bleep, pause...I'm thinking probably from the low power steering fluid...

- and steering while turning hard left is heavier than turning hard right...I just replaced the passenger side front tie rod end and got the car realligned...might be from lack of grease in the tie rod end boot which had little cuts on it because it was free/used?


damn...I think I'm answering all my own questions...help, thanks...

If you see brake fluid at the rear of the master cylinder and coming down on the power brake booster means your rear master cylinder seals are bad.You'll might as well as get a rebuilt one.They don't cost much.

If you have ABS, then the ABS pump is leaking too. They all do, though, from what i've heard.
