brakefluid leak
Hey guys I know this is the wrong forum , but I'm familiar with you and know you have good advice, my friend just spent his life's savings on a beautiful restored 65 malibu SS. his brakes are leaking between the mc and the vacuum booster, his bakes are good, but I'm afraid he'll let it get too low and get air in. His health won't allow him to work on his car, his wallet won't let him pay to have it done. and his pride won't let him ask for a lot of help. I'd like to do it for him in the quickest, easiest manner possible. So is there a gasket between the mc and vac. booster? what are your thoughts?

There is no gasket between the MC and booster. The rear seal on the MC is bad.
The MC needs replacing or rebuilding.
If fluid gets into the booster, it will deteriorate the membrane and then you will have to replace the booster as well.
