Master Cylinder or the Brake booster
Saturday, April 22, 2006 6:30 PM
I was doing my brakes today and noticed brake fluid leaking under my car. I cant tell were its leaking from. Is there a way I can tell if it leaking from the master cylinder or if it is the brake power booster.
Thanks
2000 Cavalier 2.2

well i would assume that one of them wouldnt work if it was leaking. to test your booster. press on the brake and start the car. if the pedal goes down, its working. to test the master cylinder, try to stop duh

The booster doesn't hold any fluid, so its not leaking from there. Unless the rear seal on the MC is bad, but thats kind of rare.

Check the seals between the MC and the Resevoir.
