Thread: Brake fluid problem

Got air in my system last Sunday whilst having a little play in the woods, found the reservoir cap to not be done up tight tight so put the loss of fluid down to that. Bleed the brakes up with new fluid at work, went for a road test and everything was fine. Been out again today and had the same thing but cap was tight tight. From looking it seems that it's leaking out of the sensor on the reservoir so I'm assuming it's a worn seal on the sensor + the warning light never came up once the reserviour was empty so would like to replace it but I can't find the sensor listed anywhere?

Had similar problem, was away for 3 days working & left car at office. Came back to find pool of fluid under car, filled up reservoir & drove home . On removing reservoir found the two rubber bushes it locates in were perished & split . Not having spares cleaned up & siliconed them. On replaceing reservion found it was a bit wobbly so cable tied it down to master cylinder. Been over 2.5 years & still better than new.
