Swivel joint 1.jpg
View attachment 179850 Good morning,
Was having a go at removing the drivers side front brake disc for a new one yesterday and didn't get very far because I didn't have the right socket to get the brake caliper bolts undone but while I was looking around the bottom of the swivel joint went from dry to leaking like crazy very quickly indeed.
Something I'd fully expect if I had attempted to do anything but this time simply looking at it seemed to have started it off. :(
 
You question seems loaded, which means I definitely did :) to undo the bracket holding the drake pipe on
 
Probably, as with loosening/removing the top swivel bolts, you have allowed the swivewl ball to drop, alllowing the oil to leak out.
