Non-Pressure External Leaks

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Escape, 2003 Ford Escape, and 2002 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A low brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir may be caused by the following non-pressure external leaks:

  1. Type 1

    An external leak may exist at the brake master cylinder filler cap due to incorrect position of the cap, cap gasket, or cap gasket deterioration.

  2. Type 2

    An external leak may exist at the brake master cylinder mounting flange due to internal seal failure. Repair or install a new brake master cylinder.

  3. Type 3

    An external leak may exist at the base of the brake master cylinder reservoir due to deteriorated reservoir mounting seals. Repair or install a new brake master cylinder
