new guy lost breaks! hydroboost leaking
hello, I lost power steering and breaks. I found power steering fluid leaking from a weep hole on the side of the hydroboost. I'm assuming that the hydroboost pooped. is it difficult to replace? special tools? and where online can I find step by step info. my Haynes repair manual ain't cutting it. Tanks a bunch

Welcome to FTE redheadty. 
From the sounds of it I would tend to agree with your diagnosis.
I've never replaced one of those units, but it doesn't look THAT difficult, just a hassle because of the access issues. All the rest of it is getting it disconnected from the brake pedal under the dash and unbolt everything.
Is the fluid squirting out or just weeping?
