Is there a way to tell if the brake booster is leaking?

Has your master cylinder ever leaked brake fluid into the booster?

[John T]

Why are you obligated to go? I think If I'm going to drive 1200 miles, I'd prefer to have some fun. I-5 = No fun.

I work for a company that goes every year, this also involves being responsible for and driving a 18ft long excursion with a 35ft trailer on it that feels like being in the ocean in a canoe ...yay.

I was at that game! They kicked ass, surprisingly! Night fellas!

Nope. Is that what causes them to leak?

[Ryann]

^Yup.

[DrJosh]

Okay. So its most likely not the brake booster. Could be lines going to the brake booster though. Those are the ones I havent replaced. Everything else has.

[Ryann]

Injector o-rings?

[DrJosh]

That's what I am thinking but hoping not. Its not as convenient as the vacuum lines.

If you guys need a truck driver I have some pretty good experience ;)

Replaced O2. Power is back and it is sending out a signal. Now to find the vacuum leak causing the high idle. Brake booster lines looked fine sadly. Will order intake mani gasket and injector O-rings.

I have a huge vac leak too, I think it is my injector seals, but I got new injectors and seals so that should solve that (if the injectors are the problem).

My brake booster elbow thing might be loose too (the part that connects the booster with the vac line)

Also talked tot he owner of a gray market E23 745i today... you know the factory turbo'd m30 cars. Awesome guy, sweet car

[DrJosh]

Very nice. Turboed M30 would be sweet.

[Mullet Bullet]

[DrJosh]

No mo E30 :(
