In Reply to: Where does all that brake fluid go ?? posted by junior [64.136.27.226] on Saturday, December 04, 2010 at 01:36:31 :
If it is not leaking from any of the brake slave cylinders then it is in one of two places. The most likely is that it is coming out the back of the master cylinder. This is caused by the master cylinder being badly pitted or the seal has turned hard. You may not see the fluid as it went onto the ground. The other place it could be going is more scary. Check all of your brake lines. You may have some pin holes due to rust or you have a connection that is leaking. Run you hand down each line checking every inch of them. Be sure to check where the rear line goes through the frame cross member as they often rust in that space and you might not see a leak in there.
If you have a vacuum booster check it out very carefully as someone suggested earlier.
