Guys do you know what a break fluid leak looks like?? I also received the Recall letter and when I looked under the drivers side I noticed a brown/green discharge inside the wheel and links..I wiped it and its thick n pasty....?? Im hoping its brake fluid so I can have it fixed for free
here's what it looks like:...any thoughts? Thanks

 

Is the brake reservoir still full? If it is it's probably differential.

 

looks like axle seal is leaking

 

usually the smell alone of gear oil will give it away.

 

what they said

 

judging from the colour of it on the metal, it looks like brake fluid , but your description (brown/green ) suggest mixture of CV joint grease maybe ?? ... check the booths also , along with other suggestion ..

 

booths look fine, brake fluid level its full and there is NO smell!
Im so frusturated!
Im going to bring it the the dealership for that recall..I was just trying to get a better idea on what to expect
dont trust dealership that much...forum people much better/honest

 

Ok well , tell me what model LR is this , and some details , i will talk to some of my buddy's today, see what they come up with for you ....

 

'07 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2L
Replaced both front struts and differential oil about two months ago with other due services.

I found a pasty black/dark green discharge around the brake connection and around the axle inside the wheel (drivers side)..I checked brake fluid reservoir and it is full...I cleaned everything up and Im waiting to see if it happens again...so far so good but something is leaking.

Going to the Dealership next week ...anything you can tell me before I go I appreciate it.

Thank you for your help [/QUOTE]

 

I'd guess it is axle grease as brake fluid is more clear, but depending on how much road dirt is on the components, it could look darker. bu my guess is grease.
