Hey Guys,

Question:

Around the brake booster, I see paint peeling off and in some places, the paint has completely peeled off. And where the master cylinder hooks up to the brake booster, the paint has pe.eled off all around that area and it looks like it could be rust.

I was wondering if the brake fluid has leaked into the brake booster. From what I have been told, that means that the secondary seal from the master cylinder could be leaking and possibly leaking into the brake booster.

What do you think?

i have hard time getting in the gears now i notice as well could it be cause my master cyclinder is almost done?( cuz i know that master cyclinder is also use for the clutch) Could it be cuz my master cyclinder is done?


I would greatly apperciate any help

thanks

 

anyone!!

 

Do you see any fluid missing from the brake fluid reservoir?

 

yes I do. I always wondered where the fluid went, I could nt see it leaking anywhere.

 

My 93 does the same ****, and I just bought a rebuilt master cylinder and its wet around where it mounts to the brake booster. Pisses me off. It sound like your has a definate leak if your tranny won't go into gear sometimes.

 

so did you end up replacing the brake booster as well

 

You shouldn't need to replace the brake booster. However, when changing the MC, you can take off the cover and repaint it.

 

r u sure about that Mahjik that I don't need to replace the brake booster

 

There is usually a seal between them, they do hold vacuum so the are air tight. Just clean it up and repaint it.

 

ya I ll take ã look at it

 

since i am changing the master cyclinder would i need to bleed the clutch as well or no?? oh ya looked like their was a little bit trace of brake fluid inside since this bracket that was their seem to be getting rust on it(inside the car looking underneath at the firewall where the booster bolts up)

 

what cover r u talking about?

 

Take a look at Garfinke's engine bay:

You'll see the brake booster cover is painted silver to match his car.
