[15powerstroke]

Hello I’m new to the forum so bear with me. I recently change my vacuum pump seal on my 15 powerstroke. The bolts came loose and was leaking I went ahead and changed the gasket and Ford recommended new bolts and I Loctite them this time. Question is I know the torque specs on the vacuum pump bolts itself 90 inch pounds what about the cooling fan assembly bolts those long ones you take out to remove the fan I read somewhere where 18 foot pounds but that seems light to me is that correct or should I go tighter?

How did you discover it was leaking? I'm getting a random loss of brake pedal pressure. I've only noticed it when I'm pulling out of a parking spot so far.
