Non-Pressure Leaks
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Econoline, 2004 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The only part of the brake system that could have a brake fluid loss that does not appear when the system is under pressure is the brake master cylinder reservoir under the following conditions:
- Missing or poorly-fitted brake master cylinder filler cap
- Punctured or otherwise damaged brake master cylinder reservoir
- Missing or damaged brake master cylinder filler cap gasket
- Missing, damaged or poorly-fitted sealing grommets between the brake master cylinder and the brake master cylinder reservoir
The brake master cylinder reservoir grommets are not repairable and must be installed new as part of a new brake master cylinder reservoir.
