Brake booster ? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

32valvZ · 02-12-2008

So, I'm bored and have nothing else to do, so I decided to pull the battery out and do a little checking around....I found the cruise control hose was severely pinched and deteriorating pretty bad amazes me that the cruise worked....I followed it back inside the car & pulled it out.

Upon doing so, I noticed the boot on the booster looked a little dampened. I touched it and its brake fluid. Its not dripping or wet, just looks shiney on the bottom. Do I need to replace it immediately or can I hold off for a while?

Que?

Is the fluid on the booster external or internal?

Inside the car, looking up at the brake pedal. The rod that is linked to the pedal, which pushes inward when you press the brake......theres a boot that surrounds it...the boot is a little wet.

Sounds like the master cylinder is leaking. Pull the brake master off and check to make sure it is not leaking into the booster.
