power booster issues
« on: November 16, 2009, 06:06:41 pm »
Ok, so I recently had to replace my power steering pump on my 87' R-30. Now I suddenly am leaking fluid from the power booster. I checked all the connections and cannot seem to find the leak. Its dripping right onto my manifold causing it to smoke.  Is my power booster bad? Just a bad seal? Or do I need to replace it. It is the original to the truck. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

So this is a hydro-boost system?

Clean everything off and Check it carefully

Yes it is a hydro-boost system. I cleaned it off and checked for leaks. It would appear to be comming from the cylinder on the left side of the power booster. Could I have blown a seal?
