Brake lines leaking?!?!?!?

[Nomad707]

CRAP.

saw my brake light on, fluid level low, and this horrible sight.

(but why leak from there?!?)

plan of attack anyone?

take off the rim and check the rubber hose on that side.

it could be leaking on the hardline somewhere and dripping back from what i remember the brake line is kind of higher up in the rear, i'll try to get a pic

hrm

Theres enough pressure in those lines when you brake to spray fluid pretty far.

I would also check the brake fluid resivor even though the brake light is on. Do you should see that the rear of the resivor is empty?

My brake line is leaking on the same wheel. Im changing that this week though with some ss brake lines+ some more stuff:naughty:

i have slotted / drilled rotors and some kind of good caliper (what, i dont know..)

i do know that its leaking somewhere above in the wheel well.. that picture was taken after the car slept for at least 10 hrs.

going to inspect further tomorow.

maybe where it connects from soft hoe to hardline?
