Seems as though the leak is coming from the seal that gets pushed in by the rod connected through the booster, undo those front nuts on the brake booster and pull of the reservoir and casing to see where its coming from.

i took it to a mechanic and he just said easier to replace the whole thing but im not sure :roll:

Posted: **March 7th, 2013, 4:36 pm**

really couldnt stand having no headrests in the back seats so swapped over the foam in the seats with a fairmont one and put them in

Posted: **March 11th, 2013, 3:37 pm**

you drive from the back seat?

nah bought another pair of donut headrests for the front

Posted: **March 11th, 2013, 8:23 pm**

I said it in your first thread that got deleted but I'll say it again, love it man!

The argents suit it perfectly, I wouldnt put the wing on however. Take it from another bloke with a chilli el, they're called spoilers for a reason.
