Drove about 40 miles today in my 87 wagon and when I stopped the entire hydro fluid system drained out from the drivers side rear under the strut. There was no source of the leak when the engine was running that I could find previously and now that the system is drained it's a dilemma to find what it's doing.

I have gotten as far as proofing the drivers side shock with compressed air, it's not blown out. So 1 theory is that the level control valve is shot. It seems the fluid is just being blown out of the shocks by the pump, there's really no other explanation for the amount of fluid in 2 different places. I suppose it's possible both shocks are bad but that's doubtful. So this leads to the repair. The level control valve is 1 expensive part but I need to confirm that it's the problem.
