How to Identify a Leak in a Vehicle Equipped with Hydro Boost System
What should you know about identifying a leak in a vehicle equipped with a hydro boost system?
A vechicle equipped with a hydro boost system is leaking fluid. Where the booster and master cylinder meet. Which is true?
-a leak here can only come from booster assembly
-a leak here can only come from master cylinder
-a pink fluid here would indicate brake fluid leak
-a pink fluid here would indicate a power steering fluid leak
Answer:
A leak where the booster and master cylinder meet in a vehicle with a hydro boost system can only come from the booster assembly. A pink fluid at this point indicates a brake fluid leak.
If a vehicle equipped with a hydro boost system is leaking fluid where the booster and master cylinder meet, a leak here can only come from the booster assembly. The booster assembly is responsible for providing power assist to the brake system, so if there is a fluid leak at this point, it indicates a problem with the booster assembly itself.
A pink fluid here would indicate a brake fluid leak, not a power steering fluid leak. Brake fluid is typically pink in color, while power steering fluid is usually clear or amber.
