You don't say what transmission you have, but if it's a manual one, could be clutch hydraulics leaking. And yes....brake fluid can go into the booster. Could be a few inches deep in there. Real wheel cylinders are usually the first to leak... And they can leak slowly enough that it doesn't show up at bf at the braking plate, etc. Scott www.turbovans.com -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Chris S.

Is leaking into the brake booster? The brakes seem fine otherwise. Thanks, Chris S.
