73 Blazer Brakes - HELP! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Trying to get my 73 Blazer roadworthy for the DMV. I have twice added brake fluid to the forward reservoir and within just a couple short trips, I'm locking-up the rears to stop.

BUT! I have no idea where the fluid is going. I've check all wheels cylinders and the M/C. But can find no, obvious leaks. So, my "Expert-At-Everything" failing everything but Auto-Shop son says "It's prolly leakin into the booster..." "Mr. Carroll (the shop teacher) say's that can happen."

I've never heard of this - would there bee a couple quarts of fluid SOMEWHERE?!?!?. And, before I go digging in where I've never been, I thought I'd check here.

Let me know & thanks,

- Dave
