LSPV leak/no leak ?

Hello, 94 Ext. Cab 4x4 22re. Lspv has been doing it usual, leaking ! The past two days i have not had to add the usual amount of fluid that normally put in every day !! I keep a drip pan under the right rear wheel to catch the fluid, versus spotting up my carport and driveway ! The past couple of days maybe three days there has been minimal drips and leakage. I usually have to put in maybe almost half of a soda can every day !! What could be causing this ? I know it needs replaced ……. here is another instance. This past winter December January of this year, I hardly added any fluid for two months not even half of a soda can !! …Boot on lspv frozen ? Idk. Any thoughts ?? I know the cure is to replace the lspv , money doesn’t grow on trees these days so I have been saving up some money to replace every component on the brake system to include the lines. Because I know that when I go to take those three lines off of the valve they are going to break ! Thankyou

with a known leak in your brake system, you shouldn’t be driving the vehicle, period. you are endangering everyone you cross paths with, including yourself. fix it!

you left out the details that you were not using it on the road. less problematic; at least you aren't endangering the general public.

the lspv is pretty simple. disconnect the hard lines, unbolt the lspv body from the chassis, and inspect it. i guess you already knew that, though.

About five years ago, the LSPV was leaking on my 92. I bought the Toyota part which was very expensive. Took the boot off the LSPV, and water, brake fluid, and a rusty mess came pouring out. Could not afford a new boot kit. Five years later it's still working fine without a boot on it, but I don't do any off road stuff. Just a point A to B and B to A grocery getter, and hauling what ever. You might want to get a boot kit too when you install a new LSPV.

I bought the boot kit off Amayama. Price was pretty good. The kit actually comes with quite a bit of stuff.
