Hydroboost Master Cylinder or other Leak?
So I was giving the RV the usual visual checks before I left for a short trip yesterday. I saw that there was a disturbing amount of fluid on the bottom of the hydroboost pump. I ASSumed it was PS flu...

Thanks both for the tips.
I can't tell what color the fluid is because there's 30 years of grime over in that corner. It's kind of a brown color by the time it drips off the bottom of the master cylinder. It's thin, though, like brake fluid. PS fluid is a similar color but thicker.
The inside of the left tire has streaks from some sort of fluid, but I don't think it's the caliper or line over there. The fluid is not on the rim - I think it's fluid blowing back from whatever the leak is. There's a substantial trans fluid leak as well that I plan to seal up while I'm in there. It's just the rubber hoses on the after market trans cooler - easy fix.
Anyhow, I ordered up a new master cylinder. It has rear disc brakes so the reservoirs are the same size. It can't hurt to replace it anyway - assuming the lines come off. Got a PS hose, too, though I'm not 100% sure that's leaking now.
Now that the rain has stopped I'm going to pull both front wheels and make sure there's no other leaks.
