Default Nickel and Dime... Nickel and Dime....

Hey it's me again,
While I have gotten my '87 LX running, I'm still having problems with the battery draining, and I discovered I have TWO leaks. One of which is in the brake lines (need to be replaced), and I can't find the other one. All I know is that when I was driving last Sunday, I got it up to opperating temp, and I noticed smoke coming from under the car. My questions are, 1) How do I find the leak under the car, and 2) Where can I find good replacement brake lines that won't break the bank? Thanks!

where is the leak coming from on the brake line? the metal lines or the rubber hose lines?

if so just check your local parts store. they dont really cost that much.

second of all what is the "other" leak? transmission, oil, antifreeze? need more info on this.

but just as a word of advice the fluid ALWAYS COME DOWN AND BACK!
(that is to the bottom of the engine out toward the back of the car)
