Your master cylinder is leaking into the brake booster, which uses engine vacuum to operate, this is why you're getting the white smoke (burning brake fluid). I'd start by looking for a new (or reman) master cylinder and a new/used/reman brake booster. I can't imagine a brake booster surviving long after fluid exposure.

It works like one too. Brake booster you can live without, a working master cylinder you can't.

Its not like losing the brake booster suddenly makes your brakes useless. The master cylinder on the other hand can give you a complete brake failure and thats simply unacceptable.

Your master cyl is leaking in to the booster.The engine is burning the fluid. Get it fixed NOW! SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
