Hi Fred =E2=80=93 yes, it can be leaking into the booster. One of the =
local guys just encountered this on a BJ-8 he is building up=E2=80=A6
=20
There rebuild kits for the boosters [I believe, someone correct me if =
I=E2=80=99m wrong], or you could get a new booster.

I am having issues with the brakes on my 66 BJ8. I am new to this BJ8 =
with boosted brakes, but I have owned a BJ7 for many years. I don't =
find any clues in the shop manual or in Norm Nock's tech talk manual.=20
=20
When I press the brake pedal, it slowly goes to the floor. I am losing =
hydraulic fluid in the reservoir but there are no apparent leaks that I =
can see. There are no fluid spots on the garage floor at each wheel and =
no evidence of brake fluid on the wire wheels which would indicate a =
leak. I have pulled each wheel and I do not see brake fluid anywhere.
=20
Is it possible that the fluid is leaking into the brake booster? How am =
I able to check that out? If this is the case, can the booster be =
repaired by me or someone else, if so, who. If fluid is leaking into =
the booster, is it better to simply replace the booster and who is a =
good source?
=20
Something always happens before what promises to be a great sunny =
weekend.
=20
Thanks for any help,
=20
Fred
