Brake fluid engine smoke?

Post by baldo »

So if I pump the brakes or bleed the brakes, when I start the car it smokes a lot. If I am driving and have to brake hard because of a Florida driver doing something stupid, it starts smoking and smells weird like break fluid. So does that mean my booster is full of fluid and when I really pump it it gets to the engine? That would be awesome! :cry: On the other hand............ My engine should be really clean! :lol: :lol:

Do you have to refill the brake fluid regularly then it can be the internal booster can be full of fluid use to happen

Its leaking inside the car also, I thought is was the rubber part. Is it leaking inside because its full? :? I will have to take everything apart and check (and empty) it next week.

No accumulation of fluid during all those brake master leaks years

Don't bother empty it the fluid is so aggressive and will damage the vacuum rubber in the booster real soon ;)

SO you are saying that he has to replace both master cylinder and booster as an assembly to correct this issue, due to the rubber bladder inside the booster is damaged due to the brake fluid, am I correct?

Correct

If the booster is leaking inside the car then the rubber already corroded by the brake fluid !

If you master don't leak no need to changing it
