i found the leak in the system, but i have no idea what this part is or if it can go bad. i changed the slave cylinder yesterday and found out later than wasnt the problem. i think im gonna put some teflon tape on the threads of the fittings in the second pic.

so, i am wondering what this part is? can it go bad? it is located on the passenger side of the engine bay.

Some hydraulic device with the brake system.
Do not use tape on these threads.
These appear to be compression fittings.
Monitor the fluid levels, etc, etc.
With Saab in '67 and on, I would rebuild the slave cylinder, an easy job, inexpensive..
But I would have to see the leak..

 

The object in the first pic looks like a clutch damper but I could be wrong.

 

It is the clutch damper, mines went out not so long ago. I just added a lil Hondabond at the ends and bingo, Good as new

 

Hondabond is golden
