    Nope. I haven't done engine washes na for the longest time. Puro punas punas Lang ako. And also medyo garage queen na iyan

    Medyo Pala-isipan nga eh.

    lakas maka corrode ng metal yan brake fluid.. kaya nung minsan may maliit na leak yung sa adventure ko, pinalitan ko agad yung seals.. then paint din agad ng brake booster.. kasi natuklap na paint
    Brake fluid from the outside ba iyon? Splattering from the brake master? Malabo ata iyon. Wala din bawas Ng brake fluid eh maski nung nagpalit ako Ng brake kit Kasi sira na din seals niya kaya squishy Ang tapakan (w/c I think was the reason bakit nasira Ang diaphragm nuong hydrovac).

    break fluid spatter from during break fluid refilling events in the past.
    ngayon ko lang na-isip: that's why dad would always wipe clean the metals around the master cylinder after refils, using lotsa water.
    even only one drop of break fluid will soften and do away with the paint protecting the sheet metal of the break booster body underneath, exposing the latter to the atmosphere.
    after several years, that raw, exposed metal would have rusted thru.

    malayo Ang brake fluid reservoir sa hydrovac kaya Hindi din Siguro doc. Medyo tago iyong brake booster sa likod ng engine bay Kasi nga Malaki iyong k20 power plant niya kaya cramped masyado iyong engine bay. It's actually 1 of the set backs of this trim.

    Probably iyong corrosion due to the fact na my fd was released in 2006 pa. 4th of its kind released locally if I understand the Vin № code correctly.

    Anyhow, I'm just glad this saga is over and done with. Matigas ang Brake Pedal
