I am getting break fluid leakage, but not at the wheels or wheel seals. How do you get to the ridgid break lines to inspect, repair or replace?

| The hardline to the rear runs along the drivers side of the tunnel - inside of the car. You will have to pull back the carpet to see it. |

| I had a leak in tube in front of pedal cluster. If this turns out to be your case, I might be able to help. It threw me for a loop at first. |

| Mine was leaking from the master cylinder but it leaked just enough to stay on the pan, didn't figure it out till I parked on an incline. |

You realize, of course, that breaks are fractures and brakes might save your a$$. Just the semantic police checking in. lol.

| I have heard that sometimes the brake line that runs to the rear brakes leaks into the space in the front firewall. The firewall is really two metal plates with about an inch between them and the fliuid can leak into there. If it does it can take months to find. |

| My 62 pissed all the brake fluid onto the garage floor the other day after a drive. Turns out it was a rip in the rubber line from the reservoir to the MS. Thank God it wasn't anything more serious than that and that she was in the garage when it happened. |
