[QUOTE="ORVietVet, post: 22104, member: 9438"] To [USER=12127]@mayvillain[/USER], I would bet that your hydro-boost is leaking at the accumulator and since I am also betting that it is seeping/leaking inside the cab, under the dash where the rod that attaches at the brake pedal, comes out of the back of the hydro-boost. Very common. I know. Mine is and I will be replacing the hydro-boost. You can leave the brake lines attached to the master cylinder and remove the two 15mm nuts and pull it away and look to verify that there is no leak at the back of the master cylinder.
