Onto the pan near the mc but not quite onto the ground. btdt.


maybe have to refill it every three days. brakes seem to work well. >wish me luck!

I had that for a while, then it stopped leaking. Never did get to the bottom of it.

It sounds like you have a pin hole size leak in a brake line or hose.

I do not recommend the semi-synthetic brake fluid. I used it and it made the brake hoses swell shut.

I only use standard store brand conventional DOT 3 brake fluid like Auto Zone brand. I do not think they have Auto Zone where you live though.
