I just purchased a 1984 grand national in good condition 88K on the car. It is leaking from where a normally a power assit would be for the breaks. Instead their is a junction thier where the power steering lines are connect to it. I am not sure what that does. Does it assit your breaks or cool your power steering unit? Anyway it is leaking fluid from this location against the fire wall. The fluid has been running down the fire wall for a while. I cleaned up the area and I am tring to determine where the leak is coming from. The old owner told me it is power steering fluid he would add it as needed. I want to fix the leak.
1. Is it possible that the master cylinder is leaking is was 3/4 empty when I checked it. I cleaned up that are removed the old fluid and reassembled the cover.
2. What does that unit behind the master cylinder do?
3. Could a internal leak from that unit behind the master cylinder be allowing the fluid to leak betwwen the fire wall. It looks like someone removed and replaced the rubber gasket before.
If anyone has a car like this and know what I am talking about please help.
Thanks Mike
