hi there i have a mysterious brake fluid leak.
Left my Disco into an indy few weeks back for clutch and flywheel change.
A few weeks later the handbrake light came on so I checked the brake fluid reservoir......And it was on the min mark. Thankk god for that warning light.
Inspected all the brake lines under the bonnet from servo to abs modulator. No leaks or corrosion or anything.
Got underneath her and noticed brake fluid was leaking around the gearbox join onto the bell housing.
Could it be leaking from here or is my leak further up and just running down around the gearbox and dripping off?
Never had any brake fluid leaks before this.
Nothing underneath clutch or brake pedal and cannot see any obvious leaks in engine, even with the sound proof cover off.
Anybody else experience this or have any idea whats going on. I have to top up the reservoir every couple days with about 200ml of fluid.
