Locating brake fluid leakage

[my name is alex]

Thanks again for your help east302. Just called the dealer, and they want $316 for it - WTF?

Those directions make it look pretty straight forward. I've replaced pads and calipers before, but nothing on the engine side of the brake system.

I see the directions are calling this piece a combination valve, but neither of my mechanics knew what I was talking about when I told them that was the leaking part...

I'm just going to go ahead and order it now. I may throw some more questions your way if I run into any issues getting this thing on.

Not a problem, glad to help out if I can.

The only issue I had was that I initially couldn't get brake fluid to the rear wheels after replacing the ABS assembly. Since you're only doing the valve, you may not have that problem. See post #15 in the link below...

Decided to just have the shop install the proportioning valve I bought, since I would need them to bleed it anyway and $140 seemed a good enough price to not have to deal with it myself.

No more leaking, and I think that may have been my last engine leak (for now). Now I've just got to clean the mess that appears to have accumulated over years. It all eventually drained down into the bash guard under the front differential. I'm cleaning it up now, but it's pretty tar-like.

That sounds like a good price, glad to hear that it worked out.
