Hello.

I have a small leakage from my back brake. I had to top up by brake fluid by a small amount. It is leaking very slowly, its leaking from the pipe from where u fill the brake fluid. There is a cover on this cable and when i push up the cover i see that its a little oily.
There is no leak where its goes into the break. The seal

Do u think i will need to replace the break cable or just see what break fluid it uses up in the coming months.

Thank You

David

If it is leaking between the reservoir and the master cylinder (no pressure), just replace the hose with new clamps. Shouldn't be a big rush on that one unless you're refilling the reservoir daily.

If it is leaking between the master cylinder and the caliper (pressurized), I'd fix it immediately; it's a safety issue.
