Smokin brakes rich 4-14-03  
I have brake fluid from the front brake reservoir coming out my exhaust.Is the checkvavle letting it through-can it be replaced or does the whole booster have to?
Re: smokin brakes Sam Watson 4-14-03  
Your master cylinder needs to be replaced. It is leaking fluid into the vacuum side of the booster where it is being "sucked" into the engine. You can remove the booster and flush it out by pouring acholol into the vacuum hose connection, shaking it, and then turn it over and allowing the alcohol to drain from the vacuum hose connection. Do this until the alcohol comes out clear.

Sam does it matter that my master cylinder is not connected to my boosters,there located in the middle of the chassis master cyl is up front?

OK, you've got the frame mounted Hydro- Vacs. You'll have to have them repaired as there is leakage between the fluid and vacuum sides.
