Default Effects of too much sodium in your diet
I blew a brake line in March, and am finally starting on replacing them all. The cause is rust, thanks to our generously salted roads in the winter. I am replacing them with stainless. The pic is a spot that wasn't leaking, it represents how several of the worst areas look. Just wanted to share.

I am glad I am living back in the south. Every car in the north has the "cancer."
