Brake problems
On my 86 I have had to add brake fluid two times in the last two months. I have checked all the wheel cylinders checked the lines and have not figured out where I am losing fluid at. Has anyone else had this problem?

What he said was that there's a gasket between the MC and booster, clean that area good with brake clean, re-fill, and drive it for awhile, checking often to see where it's leaking.And with the engine off, step on the brake peddle a couples of times, to see/find the leak. It could be leaking on the inside of the cab, check the carpet on the driver's side by the peddles

First, you need to create an account at an online picture hosting site. I really like photobucket.com, as do others. It is free, so it won't cost anything but a few minutes of your time to create an account. Upload your photos to that site and then just copy and paste the IMG code into the body of the message. The IMG code is listed below the picture after you upload, so it is really easy.
