I noticed my brake light flickering the other morning and figured my fluid was low (it was at the min. mark) I filled it up and went on my way, well today (2 days later) I noticed quite a bit of fluid on the ground near my drivers front wheel, I figured it was brake fluid and checked the reservoir again and it was pretty close to the min mark again. I inspected the reservoir to see where my leak is and found the leak at the bottom of the reservoir in the back (it looks like 2 tubes coming from the bottom of the reservoir, 1 in the middle and the 1 leaking in the back)

so my questions are what is bad (I am thinking a gasket kit?) and how do I replace it (how does that reservoir come out?)

 

I have the same issue on my 97. The resevouir just snaps into the rubber grommets. My leak is where the plastic tune comes out of the booster and into the rear of the back rubber grommet. AB has a resevouir kit for $99, but I am not sure if that will fix my leak so I am going with a new master cylinder for $199. I removed my resevouir and cleaned the grommets and where that tube goes in back looked like it may not be sealing.

 

I really just want to replace the grommet first but I have found as you said that $99 kit was the only thing available. I wonder if some kind of sealant might work, really hate the idea of spending $100 plus shipping for just that one grommet!

 

OK so here is something interesting I found out from the dealer here: the specific grommets I need are not offered from Land Rover however the exact same parts are available through Audi (yeah I know I thought this was weird too, but apparently they both use lucas brake systems) so here are the 2 part numbers if anyone is interested the grommet closest to the firewall is part number 893611817B and the grommet closest to the front of the vehicle is 480611817A1. Now I was able to find the first one pretty easy (even my local store that I buy LR parts from had this one) but the second one was tougher to find found a somewhat local dealer that has 1 in stock!.

 

Just an update guys, I ended up going with the new reservoir kit instead of the grommets and I am glad I did because the back grommet does not go over the little plastic tube very well (the tube actually should go into the grommet and not the other way around). In the process of trying to remove it, I actually broke the little yellow tube and the rest of the yellow cap piece. the rebuild kit comes with new seals and the new cap piece, took about an hour to do the whole thing (maybe a little longer while trying to get that yellow piece off, it is really tough) then another 20 minutes to bleed all the lines. No more brake fluid leaks for me, now on to the next repair (steering damper!)

 

In a couple of these replies the number has been given incorrectly. 893611317b is correct. So is 4A0611817a, but in a couple places it's shown as 480611817a. I just got back from Audi, the front grommet (4A0) was $15 and the rear grommet (893) was $20 - it will take two days to get. Thank you all for the info.
