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??? Phil |

So last night pulled carpet and took a look under he pedal board and no fluid under the
Pedals and m.c. inside, so next is tonight I will try and get car jacked up and pull the cover to steering and m.c. . Btw brake pedal is firm with no loss of pressure so I am expecting to see a leak at the supply line - More fluid on the floor after it’s just sitting for a few days so it’s just leaking out from gravity. |
