Urgent 5K advise requested!



Test drove a 86 5K. The following problem was observed;

 Fluid leak - 

1. The level in reservoir was low. (This reserivor is located 
slightly to the right of center, viewed from the front, and close to 
the fire-wall)
2. Brake fault light would be on until - - -
3. When fluid was added, something called FHFs 6161, level would go 
down about 1/8 inch in about 6 blocks of driving.
4. After driving it appeared that some of the fluid had leaked under 
pressure from the top of the reservoir.
5. Could not see actual leak when car was parked and running.
6. Some slight groaning when turning the wheel when parked.

What is the possible problem?
Is it a big buck item?
Can I safely drive this adding fluid about 90 miles to get it to a 
shop that I trust?

Help! Help! Help!
