Found a non common vacuum leak

[gw33gp]

I had a 73 Pinto wagon with the 2000 cc engine and 4 spd manual transmission. I bought it new for about $3,300 and sold in 9 years later with over 100K miles on it. I got a little over $2000 for it. I kind of felt guilty for getting that much for it but the guy really wanted it and it was still in great condition.

We got our monies worth out of that car. It was my wife's daily driver and we took it on a lot of road trip vacations. We were able to camp in it and slept in the back. I even tried to drive it off-road at Death Valley one time but realized pretty quick it was too low for that kind of thing. I really liked that car and it was trouble free after we burned up a differential bearing while still under warranty.

I had a 72 wagon from 2012 til 2015ish. 2.0 ohc (not a Lima). Good little car til the flexplate gave up and couldn't start it...was my dd, so it had to leave and got the Ranger. Regret selling it, but didn't have time to mess with it.

Here's an update.....


Took the booster and master cylinder off a couple days back. WOW to my surprise the master had been leaking brake fluid into the booster and the booster is what appears to be 3/4's full of brake fluid. Needless to say.... found the whole problem and no wonder there was a small vacuum leak into the intake hose.

Have the new stuff and over weekend will replace the system. I knew the car was taking on small amounts new oil, however, didn't expect it to be going into the booster.
