1995 Ford Aerostar Leaking - Chassis, Suspension & Steering

Question: We have discovered the leak is coming from the overflow valve thingy below where you add brake fluid. We have replaced the brake shoes (which were still ok but would have been changed soon anyways)and the overflow valve as well.But the leak still persists. We do not know what to do next to stop it from spewing brake fluid every time you apply the brakes.

Here's How To Get Guaranteed Solutions In Minutes

Technican: Is the fluid leaking from the master cylinder? Have you changed the master cylinder?

Owner: No we haven't replaced the master cyl. and no the leak is coming from what looks like an overflow valve you can see is squirting out when the brakes are applied, it sits just below and is conected just below where you add the brake fluid.

Technican: Is the brake light on the dash coming on from loss of brake fluid/ pressure? Does the picture at the following link look like your master cylinder and brake fluid reservoir - partsamerica.com/product_images//img/ben/12572.jpg

Owner: Yes that is the component but the leak is below that. I have taken a picture of where it is leaking from how do I send it to you?

Technican: john Was there a part name on the sales receipt, or do you have the part number and name of the store?

Owner: I have sent a picture of where the fluid is leaking from to-john My friend replaced the part he did not tell me the name of it and it just continued to leak.

Technican: I have a copy being sent to me, my computer does not display the picture properly. Was the replacement part new?

Owner: I don't know I don't think so

Technican: It'll have to be checked for proper installation, if installed properly it must of been a bad replacement part.

Owner: The part was installed properly and did the exact same thing the original part did. It worked for a short time and then blew the little black plug that was on the end spewing brake fluid. I was told it may be a pressure problem but they were not sure where to look, my mechanic has been asking a number of other mechanics as it is an unusual problem. He had checked the all brakes replacing the rear shoes and the lines and such. He was thinking of replacing the master cylinder next, but I was hoping to be sure that would fix the problem before taking that step.
