Borgeson leak
My c2 recently have the Ridetech setup installed along with the Borgeson box. I have about 500 miles on it since the conversion. Yesterday I found a small puddle of fluid under the car. When I looked for the source, all I could find was fluid sitting on top of the Borgeson box, in the casting cavity.
Has anyone had leak problems with the box. I haven't had time to look closely, so I'm just looking for known issues if any.

This may or may not be related. When I installed a Borgeson set up in my friends '65, the small brass compression fittings needed at the hose connection were 2-3 thousands too large. I turned them down for a perfect fit. Maybe those same compression fittings are the source of your leak, just maybe. When I did my own conversion, I had no fitting issues with my fittings. It could be assumed that the specs for these little brass fitting have a range...not good. Clean up everything and watch it as the car idles and you work the steering back and forth.
