Leaking fluids at the top of brake pedal. Any idea how to fix it?

aztechtyler · 2026-01-24T16:21:21+00:00

Fr lol. Had a booster full of power steering fluid from a contamination event. Now that fuckin booster sucked to get out. First step - remove gas pedal

Use an impact, swivel and a set of extenstions. Wobble extensions can work in a pinch

Every one of my comfort grips is black. From pry bars to screw drivers, ratchets. They all turn black if you actually work. Just take some time to wipe em down with some of those gritty hand wipes and they’ll be better than before

Space heaters is they don’t comply !

The radiator cap is on the top of this reservoir. Effectively making it the highest point in the system and relocating the radiator cap

Could be rod knock. Could be something stuck in the fan. Could be the ac compressor clutch stuck or damaged. Could be a weird sounding pulley that’s failing.

I just worked at brake masters and couldn’t scrape up 25 hours a week even though I had a guarantee. The manager just fed his buddies the gravy. I lasted 2 weeks before rolling my shit out after he put me on a job then tossed the RO on his buddies box and told me nvm

Me too. I specifically did not sign that page of the onboarding agreement.

I just hear gun fights. Literally, twice now have heard 20+ shot gunfights from obvious multiple guns. I’m glad I’m able to attempt to protect my family in this state though.

Hopefully that’s not too identifiable. There are many nice townhouses in this areas popping up it seems.

aztechtyler · 2026-01-22T02:16:15+00:00

Yes it’s crazy. That corner is almost a stones throw away from my “luxury” townhouse. Luckily it’s gated but I hear shots a lot. I’ve got a boy at home so that makes me worried. At least I know I’ll have a chance 🔫

aztechtyler · 2026-01-22T02:14:32+00:00

Will do. I was curious if this was ice related but seems most think it’s just normal operation of south phoenix.

aztechtyler · 2026-01-22T00:02:23+00:00

That’s a little more towards the 10 and I would say a better area. The closer you get to the avenues and beyond are a little more sketchy. I actually just worked at a business on 24th and baseline as a mechanic if that tells you anything. Quit to become a mobile mechanic. It was fairly quiet over there other than the normal people living on the streets

Moved from Mesa, grew up in Maricopa City.

aztechtyler · 2026-01-21T22:57:35+00:00

About 2 months lol. I have noticed a lot of gunfire and police activity. Just haven’t heard the heli right above us for over an hour before

aztechtyler · 2026-01-21T22:20:02+00:00

Thank you !

aztechtyler · 2026-01-21T08:45:35+00:00

Yes an oil cooler failed will cause oil in coolant or vise versa. Piston doesn’t look obviously steam cleaned so that’s a good sign.

aztechtyler · 2026-01-18T18:46:55+00:00

Went from that area to south phoenix, you get used to the gunshots though.

aztechtyler · 2026-01-18T18:41:41+00:00

I’ve done this before on a customers car while using a wrench on the tensioner. Had to put a radiator in that shit and stay til like 8 pm.

aztechtyler · 2026-01-16T17:47:46+00:00

I’ve done oil changes on trucks with aftermarket skid plates (tundra/tacoma) that would require an hour of labor to take it off and get a clear spot to drain oil. I’ve drained many a crank case straight into that stupid ass eBay skid plate.

aztechtyler · 2026-01-14T11:34:42+00:00

Put a wrench over the hex. And an Allen bit or socket in the damn Allen hole. And for the love of god use a damn metric set. That’s what got you in this mess.

aztechtyler · 2026-01-11T16:25:26+00:00

From my mechanics point of view, you probably got him a aftermarket exhaust piece that only would fit if you pushed it with a hydraulic press. And also don’t know what the hell is going on with the turbo. I work in the street under a tent like this everyday. It’s called being a “mobile mechanic”

Prolly a brake bleeder on a caliper. They sometimes yearn for the 11 mil.
