Re: Vanishing Brake Fluid

Hi Siegfried,

If you are running the engine for any length of time in the 48 hour period,
and there is no visible pool of fluid on the inside of any of the wheels
(leaking wheel cylinder), then the fluid is probably moving into your brake
servo through a leaky seal, and that can hold a whole lot of fluid!

If you are not running the engine, and the fluid is still disappearing, I
suggest you lift your driver's side carpet, and you will probably find it
soaked in brake fluid. If this is the case, the inner seal on the master
cylinder has gone.

Both of these have happened to me over the years. John S.
