Brake booster
i have a brake fluid leak coming from where the master cylinder meets the booster. is there a seal there? do i need a new booster or is it an issue with the master cylinder. the leak has destroyed the paint on my inner fenders.

Re: Brake booster
Your booster will be fine. Slap a new master on there and forget about it.

Re: Brake booster
If you're not driving it much you may not have noticed that the brake pedal loses pressure when you're holding it steady. I have replaced many MC's on Hondas because the MC leaks. Never had to replace a booster.

Re: Brake booster
the seal between the master and the booster is a foam rubber kind of thing that seals in the vacuum on the booster the seals for the fluid are all on the master the advice you got was spot on your master is leaking from the seal up by the rear of it. change your master and you should be ok... while youre at it clean and paint your inner fender and the truck is good as new
