Check and replacement of hoses



When the leakage of any liquid you need to find the leak and fix it. If you can not immediately identify the type of fluid, then put the car into the parking lot for a long time and placing it on paper. This will help detect and identify the leak fluid.
Some leaks, such as fuel leaks, appear only when the engine is running. Since the fuel evaporates quickly, especially in the hot engine compartment, it is very difficult to detect a leak until until it becomes essential. The easiest way to detect leaks immediately after a cold start.
Carefully check all rubber hoses and metal pipes. Identify loose connections, wear hose, twisting and corrosion of pipes and other damage. When worn, damaged hoses and pipes or pipeline corrosion, replace them. If you find traces of brake fluid in the brake lines to check availability of the system.
Because of leaks brake booster vacuum hose reduces braking efficiency. In this case, it must be replaced.
