So I noticed my M/C is leaking right where it bolts to the booster. The leak is slow but noticeable. It is leaking straight down, where the brake fluid has done a number on some of the paint, including inside the drivers side wheel well.
So, I'm going to replace it soon, maybe this weekend, but since this fluid is coming out steadily, enough to eat a bunch of the paint off, should I look for any other damage? Should I look to see if it damaged anything inside the booster? There is still plenty of boost, but I would hate to think that the leak destroyed a diaphragm or something in there.
Anyone recommend a good replacement master cylinder? I see brand new and rebuilt ones at the online parts places, auto zone, etc. Are the brand new ones worth the 3-5x more for the price?
Thanks
Oh yeah its an 88 XJ Wagoneer Limited, 4.0, auto, 242, 3.55s, no ABS, 127k miles, all original except for some replacement vacuum lines, sensors, etc.
