leaking fliud at combination valve

Seems to be leaking at the mounting bolt or at least that area under the combination valve but doen't appear to be the lines/fittings. What would be the cause? This is an '82.

Thanks,

Re: leaking fliud at combination valve

Upon further inspection, the leak is at the front of the distribution block where the metering valve connects. Anyone know if there is an "o-ring" or seal at that spot? Would I need to replace the whole proportioning unit? Also, for any Canadians in Southwestern Ontario. Where are you getting these? I do see Summit Racing has them but of course will be the shipping charge.

Had valve RSD-PV71 from Summit Racing put in. Is direct relpacement and does look like OEM. Mine is disc/ drum. So far feels good for not locking the rears. Did cost more to ship/customs than the retail but if it lasts 30 years like the original no complaints here. Total cost about $180 cdn, installed.
