I have been trying for about one year to get the brakes fixed on my C60 truck. The truck has a hydrovac system. When I fill the resovoir it always leaks out. Saturday I noticed the boot directly behind the brake pedal is torn and brake fluid is leaking down the wall onto the floor behind the mat. This is why I could never find the leak anywhere. Is there a valve behind this that would be leaking or is it just the boot? Appreciate any help!!

As Joe said, you have a bad MC.

There shouldn't be any fluid in the boot, it's just a dust cover. Fluid in the boot means it's leaking past the MC cup due to a bad cup or pitting in the bore.

There are rebuild kits in Canada at the NAPA stores but with mine I found that the cylinders were pitted bad and the rebuild kit only lasted for two years before I had the MC machined and re-sleeved.

any suggestions on best way to remove the m/c? I assume the resovoir is separate and above the m/c which would be located below this and behind the pedal??

Sorry for such a slow reply... the best way to remove the M/C is to leave the lid on tight, and undo the three bolts or so that hold it onto the firewall and it then just pulls off the front.
