ok, my car leaks brake fluid. grrreeeeeat..

it only seems to leak after i turn the car off though, and it'll leak from where the BMC mates with the booster. with the car on, it holds pressure and seems to have good braking power (except for a small leak in rear caliper). any ideas? im thinking the BMC is leaking, but again, just want to be sure.

I would just replace them both at the same time.

if it's fluid leaking it sounds like the BMC. and the auto and manual are difference. the auto is bigger than the manual's. makes the pedal more sensitive.

That is correct. I have an auto BMC for sale if you are interested. It's OEM one from s13.
