---- i hate cars! Sloppy brakes= change MC and no worky
So i decided to change out my old MC from the 4 door cause i had this nifty EX one in the garage waiting for it to be installed for the longest. Long story short. I change MC's but notice alot of Brake fluid leaking from behind the Brake booster and on to the rear cross member. WTF
being the mexican that i am i said ---- it! Only to have a popping noise occur when i went to press on the brake after i installed everything and what not. Not only that but when i press on the brake the idle goes up to like 3 grand and i hear a noise like air is escaping from where the brake pedal is. That and I now have a puddle of brake fluid from right under the brake pedal...WTF did my brake booster take a ---- it couldnt have been the MC? could it? i have never seen anything like this.
OH well i guess i need a new brake booster.

i didnt touch any vaccum lines. and i have *** loads of brake fuid under the pedals. plus its really hard at first and then when you keep your foot on the pedal it goes all the way down.
