jr_ss Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I'd check a caliper.... Gotta be coming out somewhere. If there are no puddles, look for gooey spots around the brakes, that could give a hint to which one it is... It could also be leaking out the back of the mastercylinder into your brakebooster...

JustPaus_88TSi Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 If it is leaking behind the booster, it will seep down into the steering coupler and trash it.. Brake fluid will eat away your bushings, believe that.. Like Jr said, it has to be coming from somewhere.. If you can't find it, clean all related parts and brake area's.. Refill the fluid and drive around, come back and check for the new leak(s)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithTSI Posted December 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 the steering coupler...is that the part that keep the play out of your steering wheel? mines got a s*** load of play....i checked all my front end part and there really no play in anything, so im thinking its whatever that rubber bushing is.

860QuestTuner Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 It's like a universal joint in between the steering box and the fire wall,It's part of the colum,look under the master cylinder,you'll see it. Be safe bad brakes could be a bad thing when you need to stop.ya dig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
