I noticed i have a leak where the brake booster/master cylinder (what is it?) meets the firewall. Has anybody seen a leak like this before? How would I go about fixing this?

if that were brake fluid it would have taken the paint off with it. Wipe it down (clean it) and see if it comes back.

I have seen it dripping from the corner there and from time to time, some of it will drip on the exhaust manifold and smoke up.

Clean your engine bay, that disgusting.

is your brake fluid low or have you ever had to add to it

I work down a gravel road so its kinda hard to keep it clean all the time.

No, it still is full, so I dont know what it could be. You can see the trail from the side of the square piece though.

Check and see if your valve cover is loose.

imo the brake fluid is a smudge low ;P

i would guess the same thing, valve cover, maybe exhaust manifold gasket, or crush sleeve. clean your engine bay really well, use degreaser (while engine is not hot, warm is okay, actually better) let it soak, hose it down, dont get too rowdy or close w/ the hose, just spray it down, and let it sit for awhile, in the sun if possible. ive never had problems, in fact i drive a few minutes after washing my engine, some say they get water in their plugs, and other stuff.

Dirt roads suck. I avoid them @ all costs.
