Description of the problem	6 months ago, i begun to lose my hand brake that was slipping on an upgrade. Had it adjusted with my local mechanic. It worked again after the adjustment. Notice about 2 months ago that even on a level ground the hand brake was slipping. Since i have 6 spd manual trans, would just leave vehicle on 2nd or 1st gear to prevent the car from moving at park. Had the hand brakes checked and even had new brake shoes on hand if it needed to be replaced. Mechanic discovered that differential gear fluid was sipping out of the 2 wheel seals and have caked on the brake shoes and surrounding area. The tech discovered that the release pressure valve located on the upper passenger side was clogged and not releasing pressure of gear oil as the vehicle travels. Gear oil had no place to go but through the wheel differential seals. It would take a lot of work to replace the wheel seals as the 2 rear axles have to be pulled out and differential gear box have to be opened to unlock the 2 axles. Tech removed the pressure release valve and installed hose in place of the spring cap to release pressure as temporary fix. Hopefully wheel seals are not broken. Will use vehicle in meantime to see of diff wheel seals need not be replaced with the pressure release valve in open position. Accident can happen should vehicle run out of gear oil and ruin gear box that has the drive shaft attached. Pls let me know of similar incident. Thank you for looking into this. That price of that pressure release valve can only cost less than $20 from a dealer in my estimate.
