What would cause power steering fluid to be leaking on the inside on the driver side firewall. Looks to be coming from where the brake peddle presses into the hydro boost.

Has a brake fluid leak thats not coming from master cylinder or booster or bleeders

Are you sure its not the booster? Look inside the driver side under the steering wheel against the firewall. If its wet its the booster.

This sounds like the hydroboost unit is leaking.behind the master cylinderThe braking system on this using the power steering pump to provide power assisted brakes instead of a brake booster. The hydroboost unit most likely needs replaced.

MY PEDDLE FOR MY CLUCH WANT RETURN ONCE IT'S PRESS DOWN

Check the fluid in the reservoir, it sits up on the firewall on the driver side.
If there is fluid in there you may have what is called a collapsed pressure plate.

The clutch system is just like the brakes and uses hydraulic pressure. If either the slave or mater goes bad there is nothing to put pressure to return the piston attached to your pedal. If you are low on fluid add regular dot 3 or 4 brake fluid and pump the pedal by hand. If the slave or master is leaking you will see it come out. If it is the pressure plate the trans will have to come out to replace the clutch assembly.
Hope this helps.

Put in brake fluid but cannot tell if there is a leak or not

After you put the fluid in the brakes start your blazer keep it in park or in nutral with the parking brake on and then push as hard as you can on the brake peddle using the steering wheel as leverage.This should pop any brake line that is leaking a little bit but not enough to pop any good lines.If the peddle slowly goes to the floor check undernieth the vehicle for any signs of leaking.If no signs of leaking look under the hood where the brake master cylinder is and check for any leaking around the mounting surface.If no leaks there check inside the vehicle where the brake peddle goes threw to the master cylinder for leaks on the inside,this does happen from time to time.

Power steering fluid added to brake fluid. Where are the two well openings located in relation to each other? How can I get the person who caused the damage pay?

well there are no openings for power steering because its electronic on the cobalts the brake fluid bottle is on the firewall in the engine compartment on the drivers side, the cap clearly says brake fluid, i don't know who was checking your car but all cobalts have electric steering. in order to fix the problem your going to have to have the brake system completely flushed with new brake fluid before any damage is done, hopefully no damage occured already!

Power steering and brake line location2002 Chevy Silverado 2500HD

the power steering lines are very short hoses approximately 8 inches long that go from the power steering pump down to the steering box, which is located on the frame, just below the pump. The brake lines run from the master cylinder(where you fill it with fluid on the drivers side firewall) down to the frame, and then follow the frame both directions; both to the front end and the rear end, along the drivers side frame rail, just on the inside of it. The fuel line runs along the same path to the rear.

Power steering leak

Are you certain that it's power steering fluid and not brake fluid? Most vehicles do not have any power steering lines inside the passenger compartment but brake or clutch master cylinders can leak through from some vehicles.

The power steering fluid is used to create pressure for the brakes thus elliminating the need for a vacuum brake booster. If you are experiencing a steering fluid leak it is most likely because of a defective / leaky high pressure hose usually at one of the hose crimps. Do to the high pressures involved, it is not uncommon, after time for these hoses to to become weak/worn and develop leaks. Periodically flushing the power steering fluid can add to the life expectancy of these hoses

I changed that hose. But where the brake pedal pushes a rod into the hydro booster that where it's coming out of. Don't know if there's a seal in there that might be leaking

It's leaking out of the hydro boost on the inside of the truck
paulmacintyre Jul 17, 2015

Sorry Michael for the timely reply. If fluid is leaking on the INSIDE of the firewall, it will be due to a defective seal in the hydrboost unit. I am unaware of any seal kit that may be purchased to correct this issue. The only repair I would recommend is replacing the hydroboost assembly to correct this problem
