is it normal to have a lil leak of powersteering fuild by the rubber hoes on my hydroboost unit . its the only rubber one with a clamp on it and it feels loose but its all the way on and the clamp is tight ? brakes feel like they have always felt(kinda got to start praying if u come to a quick stop)

I would probably investigate that a little more. Mine has zero moisture around it. You might need a new clamp, or hose, or both.

if i remove the return line (the one with a clamp) how much fluid will come out? i want to replace the clamp. also is a big job to replace the o-rings for the unit someone told me they go bad a lot

See my thread on power steering below. If you have a Mustang near the age of my car, you may be in trouble if you need a new hose/line. They have been discontinued.

It should not be leaking at all.
