check valve or???

What is the part called that sits just below the master cylinder and it has a bunch of brake lines running to it? It also has what appears to be a nut on the end....which happens to be leaking like a seive on mine. Also, what would cause this to leak out that nut on the end of it?

It's probably the proportioning valve you are refering to. Depending on what you are driving, it could be the ABS setup.

If your Ranger is 98 or newer, that could be the RABS valve. Is it about 1"x5"x1.5"?
Do you have RABS or 4WABS?

No actually it's in my 94 4.0 Aerostar. It very well may be the proportioning valve....but what would cause it to leak? could it just have worn out or would there be an underlying cause?

and what specifically does the proportioning valve do? I can't find one at any parts stores so I"m guessing it will be a dealer only item.

The brake combination valve consists of two sections: brake load sensor proportioning valve and an interconnecting pressure differential shuttle. The brake load sensor proportioning valve reduces pressure at the rear brakes to balance the brakes, front to back. The pressure differential shuttle is a bypass feature that allows full application of rear brake pressure when front system pressure is significantly reduced. The differential pressure shuttle activates the brake warning light when excessive pressure difference is sensed in the brake system.
