Ok thanks! What vehicle are they from? I'm figuring I'll keep an eye out at the wreckers if I knew what it came off of?
I remember seeing them back in the 80s...my 92 Dakota also has the same style....and come to think of it, the Dakota leaks a little and its OEM.

Hmmmm.  So much for my original "wont leak" idea....LOL

Ya it's driving me nuts somewhat as I'm thinking if fluid can come out then air and moisture can get in? I'll try lowering the level. Thanks Shadango!

I did not read through all the pages of posts so this may be a question that was already asked. Where do you get the wiring connection for the wildwood 11179?

Was browsing the Summit catalog & read something I was not aware of...The switch on these proportioning valves is a brake light pressure switch, not a brake warning switch like our cars came with...Should cause no problem but don't waist your time trying to wire it up. 
 Only time I have ever seen the brake lamp lit by the valve was when I was changing out the MC.
