Brake fluid leakage 2001 Grand AM

May 07, 2004 4 Replies

About two weeks ago I had my car serviced and the dealer did what they called a safety check. Part of this check included checking the tires and brake linings for wear. This is something they have not done before. Now all at the same time I have what looks like brake fluid leakage by three of my wheels. I suspect it is something the dealer did. I have it scheduled for service next Tues. Does anyone know if or have any idea what this could be? Three tires all at wheels all at once does not seem possible.


Jim, Have you been able to look under the car (close inspection) at the inside area of these three wheels that leak brake fluid? This is very strange. My first thought was brake bleeder vavles not fully tightened, but that would also introduce air into the braking system. How is the car's brake perfomance? Any degrade in the braking system?
