Hi Guys,
I have noticed a little "moisture" on the floor, at the corner/near the gas peddle area. I actually had a stain on the carpet in this area. The stain cleaned up easily. The moisture doesn't smell like gas, so I don't think that the fuel lines are leaking in the tunnel. But I am wondering if the master brake caliper could be leaking on the "plunger" side. A while ago I took the cover off of the area under the car that reveals the fuel lines and master cylinder and didn't see any leaks. I will check again this weekend. Have any of you all experienced any of these symptoms? Thanks again! |

Have any of you all experienced any of these symptoms? Thanks again! Look with a flashlight down into the bottom "floor" of the fuel tank/windshield-washer-bottle/MC compartment for pooling &/or holes/leaking of brake fluid, & also look underneath the car with the steering rack cover off (4-6 screws IIRC) for leaking & corrosion too. Brake fluid can eat through the sheet metal floor pans just like water induced corrosion, & cause damage - especially at the welded mounts of the steering rack struts to the floor panel - which a definite safety problem! Then also check the MC & lines/hoses as you plan to do. Replace & repair as needed, which could include some sheet metal repairs &/or reinforcement for the floor/steering rack struts. Don't ask me how I know! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
