??Cant get brake fluid to maximum line????? - Land Rovers Only

Jahmusac · 04-09-2008, 07:05 PM

My 95' Range Classic LWB's brakes work amazingly, but when I put in any amount of fluid over halfway full it leaks out of the drivers side wheelwell. I cant tell whats leaking. maybe the resovoir?? other than that it holds the fluid and never goes any lower than halfway full.
Anyone had this problem before? Thanks Guys!!!

Make sure you are not filling it past the the top (full) line on the side/face of the resovoir. The lines are hard to see...I have to clean mine with a rag to see well.

im pretty sure it always stops leaking once the fluid drops to the middle of the low and max line. maybe my resovoir is cracked and i cant see the crack.ill check again though.

Thanks!!
