Okay I know what that thing is now. It appears to be housing for a diaphram right? --- On Sat, 2/28/09, Bergman <bergmanfamily@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Bergman <bergmanfamily@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: Can a push rod seal leak cause vacuum problems?

To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Saturday, February 28, 2009, 8:55 AM I don't know where it is located on a bay but on most cars it would be at the brake booster vacuum conection.Most of them will connect the vac line to the booster.I have seen a few at the manifold but that is unlikely. oleblue ----- Original Message ----- From: James Dwan To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 5:53 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: Can a push rod seal leak cause vacuum problems?
