Fluid on the floor: What could it be?, (time to take a brake?)Slight mystery upon returning from Okteenerfest Options

[DRPHIL914]

After returning from Okteenerfest the car sat a couple weeks, and after taking it to Cars and coffee I parked it again but backed in and a few days later pulled out and noticed 2 small puddles , front at rear- cleaned it up them parked the car , then a few days later checked again and it’s for sure under front.
I was initially worried that I had a front crank seal when I thought it was from the back, and I am releaved that it’s not from the motor,
I did all that last year and am proud to say it’s been a leak free motor since then, and I didn’t want to pull the motor or trans.
BUT this is brake fluid, and I can’t really explain why this would suddenly spring
A leak (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . I replaced all brake lines and the 19mm master cylinder about 3-4 years ago, no leaks no issues since then.
And I don’t have loss of pressure on brakes so I am assuming it’s the supply line so I guess I will be pulling the belly pan to investigate. Will post more info when I get a look just wonder why just now? I know the washer is there under the supply line connection, just weird this started now???

No fluid on the bottom of the cylinder is indicative of a leak internal to the unit. There is some bleed through on the edges, but my money is the pedal cluster. which hopefully hasn't been soaking in brake fluid. I'm sure Bruce can attest to the damage of brake fluid on the many pedal clusters he has seen.

mark,

placing order and wondering if the Okteenerfest 914 discount code is still viable and if so can you PM me with details.

Mark,
first of all thanks for the super fast shipping on the MC! it arrived yesterday and I hope to get at it tonight or atleast this weekend. My gas tank is in so I will have to work the lines around that, with the new fittings on top there will not be much room above the MC to the gromets where the supply lines come thru so in order to splice these into place it looks like I will have to trim those off at the bottom after pulling the supply lines back up and into place,
I watched the install video and looks to be fairly straight forward, only other thins is I guess if my tank was out I would probably look at putting new supply line in even though these look ok they are the old original ones, I didn't know it this is a specific type of plastic for brake fluid?
anyway, tell Scott thank you!

Phil -
will post some pics when I get on to this.
