Brake Fluid

Post by andygill »

Hi

Yesterday I got my traveller out of hibernation (6 months in garage).

It is completely out of brake fluid, however there is no evidence of any leak on the garage floor.

Any idea what it could be ?

Thanks for your continued help.

It's all inside the chassis leg? (where the master cylinder is)...
No, that would have dripped out too!
Do you have a servo fitted? Leak to vac side could mean the engine ate it all before you laid it up.

Slow leak, already low when laid up and soaked in to underseal, mud or whatever crud is around the leak. Possibly both inside and outside the chassis rail. Either that or you have an un-sealed concrete floor and it just soaked into that.
