brake pressure switch??

[Turbo Steve]

brakes work good but noticed that the switch is leaking fluid where it is pressed together and not from the threads is this a common problem? yes its the updated grey version. so I should replace asap.

That was the problem with the original design switches. Yes, replace it asap. If it turns loose no brakes and no paint left around the master cylinder.

yeah its wet where it goes together but must of sprayed out very little but enough that I noticed some smoke off the manifold

replace it asap. My brakes just failed on me today... thank god I was pulling into my bank and could call a GN expert out here in Socal to guide me through the process in identifying and fixing it temporarily. You can get the part (GM 18038508) from GMPartsDirect.com for around $100... which is about $120 cheaper than what the local GM dealer charges.
