I've been losing pwr steering fluid over a couple weeks time. My truck is getting a fluid bath. I have hydraulic boost brake system. The drip is coming from where the brake master cylinder connects to the hydraulic brake booster. I know there is a master cylinder rebuild kit but do you think that's what I need or is it the hydraulic booster that is leaking??

if your loosing pwr steering fluid then its the booster not the master cyl.

Mine leaked out of the Hydro-Boost unit.

Is the Hydro Boost unit repairable....or is there a good aftermarket one? Should I go for new or rebuilt??

The shop put a rebuilt unit on mine. A couple of days after the service, when you turned the steering wheel the brakes came on. What an experience. Get a new unit if you can.
