Default Need help with a leak, brake fluid?
Hi guys, I was gone for a week and came home to the Disco having a wet spot underneath and near driver side wheel. Ill attach pics. The leak seems to be from the master or booster. Im super tight with money right now and its gonna have to wait but Id like to know you guys opinions on what it might be and where to look. Fluid is not down in reservoir.
2000 Discover II .Thanks!

you need a new master it leaking out the rear seal, if left long enough the brake fluid can effect the rubber bladder in the booster

Difficult to call by photos, my leaky reservoir seals left same evidence at rear seal.

What did you do with your DII today? - Page 305 - Land Rover Forums - Land Rover Enthusiast Forum

You need to get off your wallet and fix the forking brakes before you kill somebody besides yourself.

That seems to be the seals at the bottom of the reservoir. I had the same problem a few months back. Easy fix. You just need new seals.

If you are tight on money, Lucky8 is way cheaper.

Send an email to Erik,

Erik@lucky8llc.com

They have better prices than AB everyday of the week.

Lucky8 is a good choice. There is also one on Amazon for $70.
