Break Fluid Leak
Break Fluid Leak
Alright guys...
I was drivin to work yesterday, and when I pulled up at a stoplight, my drivers side of my hood was smoking really bad. It smelled just like when I spilled break fluid on the engine and it steamed for a couple hours. So I lifted up my hood, and I saw that some sort of fluid (probably break) was all over my firewall, break fluid despenser and leaked down to my rear drivers side plugs. The top to my break fluid despenser was on VERY tightly, so I doubt this is the problem. I noticed a part near my firewall, next to my break fluid despenser, and it looks like a big Acorn with a couple hoses. I briefly checked them for leaks, but didn't feel anything. Anyone have ANY idea's as to what's causing this? Thanks a lot.

Okay yeah...I had my friend pump the breaks and I couldn't really spot any leaks........but out of no where everytime I drive, smoke starts coming up from my hood and into my car through my cd player hole.....
Just now I pulled over and I spotted a small fire because of the break fluid. The fire was around the open pipe that used to be used with my stock air cleaner (the hole that the metal hose attached to). I quickly blew out the fire, to notice break fluid EVERYWHERE......The cap is on very tightly to my break fluid despenser....and all hoses look fine, but I'm suspecting the 2 gaskets under the actual despenser....I can wobble the despenser around and the gaskets look to have a lot of fluid all over them....
Also, I suspect the little white piece in back of the despenser (it has a hose going to it and is mounted near the firewall). It's almost direclty behind the despenser, Anyone know the name for this?
Also, how would I replace those gaskets under the despenser? Does it come off?
Thanks a lot I'm real desperate right now
