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???

Phillip - did you install the metal washers under the rubber grommets at the supply lines.

Back when I installed this I initially forgot- had the leak, then installed the washer and had no leak for the next 3-4 years until getting back from Okteenerfest- have you ever seen a supply line pop back out later?

Make sure the lines going in to the MC are fairly straight with no or little angular pressure. The rubber MC grommets allow for the lines to come in at a bit of an angle (very slight), but too much could cause it to leak. You should be able to wipe everything down and then find where it’s leaking from given how big your leak is.

Well lines coming down are dry , lined up fine- BUT Mc will be replaced before car is driven again it looks like but this MC was new less than 5 years ago- hey Eric Shea, is the still under warranty?
