I got brake fluid leaking out of this thing, I need to replace it, but i'm not sure what it is!  Would anyone be so kind as to identify it for me so I can look it up, buy it and replace it?  ???  Thanks in advance!

It is connected to the frame just in front of the rear passenger side tire!  Hope that helps!

Proportioning/Combination Valve, I have also heard it called a metering valve

Yup.  I think there's a rebuild kit avalable for the newer ones but I'm not sure about the early models.  A manual one will run you around $70 (plus shipping)
