Hydraulic Leak Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    NOTE: Brake fluid is water soluble and it is possible that all evidence of fluid leakage has been washed off if the vehicle has been operated in the rain or snow.
  1. Make sure the brake master cylinder reservoir (2K478) is full.
  2. Apply the brakes several times and make sure the brake pedal (2455) feel is not spongy. If necessary, bleed the system. Refer to BLEEDING-SYSTEM .
  3. If the reservoir level is dropping, inspect the brake components, fittings and lines to locate the source of the leak.
