Another question for the list. I was doing some work on the car and had the
rear end up in the air with the front down
(I would note that this is the first time I've done that. 80% of the time I've
been working on things near the front
of the car and only have the front end jacked up. And when I've had the car
completely off the ground, I put the rear
end up last). So now to the problem. After doing the work, I noticed brake
fluid on the garage floor. On the metal
frame near the fuel filter I could see brake fluid, but when I looked around
the master cylinder and the servo, I
didn't see any obvious signs of leaking on either of them. My stupid question
of the week is this - would jacking the
rear of car up have caused brake fluid to leak somehow? I would think not and
maybe it was just a weird coincidence.
Lastly, since I'm a newbie, what would you recommend checking out? I would add
that if I remember correctly, the
previous owner installed a new master cylinder just a few years ago (I'm
writing this at work and don't have my records
on me right now - don't tell the boss!).
