no way it could be the ep90 leaking out past the cv seal? I was playing with a Rangie last month and it was dribbling out nicely (and contaminating the disc arggh ) Derek
Could be. All I can see is that the back part of the drum assembly is wet with fluid at and around the bleed nipple and mounting bolts of the lower cylinder. Is that easier to fix?
you can smell it, brake fluid smells not like oil

Yeah, EP 90 smells a bit like cats pee. Could it be just a loose nipple? TonyB
>Oh, I forgot: also, the fluid reservoir is almost at the Minimum line... :-(
Have you checked it's not the bleed nipple or hose that have come loose? If it's leaking on a new wheel cylinder after 1000 miles then it sounds like you've either got a dodgy cylinder, or you've bought (had fitted) cheap pattern parts, which i find have a failure rate of about 25%. (Which is why i buy genuine brake parts, not pattern)

Thats a good giveaway about what it could be!
Alex was right - cheap parts. Trying not to remember how much I paid the muppet to fit them. He also put the shoes on wrong.
