brake fluid leak

[shark74]

I was changing oil in my 74' the other day and noticed brake fluid had leaked down the inside of the front passenger side wheel. Could not find source of leak. Any ideas???:confused


thanks

Probably the caliper seals around the pistons, they can wear out especially if they're original.

Thats my guess to! just had the same problem look at the piston seals probaly all kindas of rust and crap mine ruined brand new shoes cals. weren't that old. I think letting em set around has a lot to do with it

I agree, if you let the car sit for months you'll have caliper issues,SS or not. The best thing you can do is pump the pedal a couple of times a month and then bleed the brakes when removing from a long sit.
