Vacuum reservoir leaks on 95 park ave causes vacuum leaks

[aarcuda]

the vacuum reservoirs (the vacuum tank on the firewall by the brake booster) on these cars (they were used for severval years going back to at least 93 or so) have a problem where they crack along an edge and leak.

My 95's vacuum reservoir leaked so I got another from a junk car (a 93). that one didnt leak when I put it on but now, three months later, its leaking from the same place. Im buying a new one today. it must be a common problem since ive had 2 leak. And it leaks more so when its hot out than when its cool. the material must expand and open the crack more or vacuum is more critical when its hot- im not sure- i do know that when it gets up over 85 degrees, my vacumm issues start to show. at 100 degrees outside air, the car just barely makes it up a hill.

I figured somebody else might benefit from my troubleshooting. heck it took me a while to find it with a vacuum pump (but then again, i took my time).

so, if youre car runs like crap when its hot out, and the ac vents go towards the windshield when you drive up a hill or step on the gas, the vacuum reservoir might be your problem.
