leaking brake fluid
« on: Sep 13, 2005, 10:12PM »
i've noticed lately that my brake fluid is being depleted quite quickly, but i don't know where its leaking from (can't see stains on the driveway, and i can't see it dripping from anywhere).  are these an expensive thing to replace or fix?

do you feel a loss of brake pressure? sometimes it'll stop good and sometimes its spongy?
try checking your caliper pistion seals, might be worn n causing leaks
give it a try

Yup , have a look around the engine bay , follow the lines , check your pistons etc, it's leaking from somewhere, just a matter of finding the leak and hope it's something small !  ;)
