Repairing a leaky hydroboost???

[bradshawtech]

I have an 84 K20 with the 6.2 and hydroboost that is leaking into the cab.

I am going out this morning to pull it off the truck and to see where it is leaking from. I read somewhere that you cannot repair these as they are spring loaded or something.

Should I just go get one from Carquest or should I try to repair whatever is leaking into the cab.

I have a new rubber floor mat and padding that I want to put down today and I do not want it to be ruined by the leaking oil.

Thanks for the info.

you're better off just replacing it...there is a spring in there that is hard to get back in

They aren't too bad to repair, but it would probably be way easier if you could find one at the junkyard and swap it in

I was hoping to just replace a couple of .10 seals. I just did not want it trying to take my head off while changing them.

I will get it out of the truck and see if the leak is obvious or not.

Thanks for the replies.
