i have a 90 ef with a d15d2 stock engine. recently i have noticed that my brake light keeps coming on and the master cylinder is low, this happens once a day and i keep having to top it off with fluid.

obviously im losing fluid but i dont know where, there isnt any puddle under the tires and there isnt spray on the rims.

a few months ago i flushed out the brake system due to synthetic fluid seeping its way thru the caliper and leaking all over the place, then replacing with dot 3 fluid.

i havent had any problems until 3 days ago, but like i said there is no puddle or spay but its going somewhere. only thing i can think of is that its squirting out of one of the weep holes on either caliper or drum therefore not leaving a puddle when i park...only evacuating when i press the brake pedal.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

 

Turn the car on, pump the brake in the driveway a whole bunch of times. Check for puddles. Also check along the edge of your carpet for wet spots, one of the lines might have started leaking.

 

got home and pumped the brakes for a few minutes. leaking from the passenger side caliper. i replaced the rubber seal on that piston a few months ago so that is probably whats wrong. but then again the weep hole could be loose somehow i didnt take off the tire yet.
