Hey all,

I have a 1990 Range Rover Classic which is leaking brake fluid from behind the driver's side wheel just about under the drivers side door.
When parked a smallish puddle forms (nothing huge or gushing). I refill the reservoir and the brake light goes off for about a day but then comes back on again as the level drops. Brake function still seems fine.
Can anyone offer me a troubleshooting guide to identify where the leak is coming from and then how to address it?

Thanks!

 

Lay underneath the car. Have someone pump the brakes. See where its coming from. If it is leaking out that fast then it should be something you would be able to see without any special dyes.

When the puddle forms do you smell it and see if it smells like brake fluid?

 

check around the union in the wheel well as the line starts to follow the frame. Likely that the lines are starting to rot through. I'm surprised that you're not seeing any drop in braking performance though... if you're loosing that much fluid, you should be sucking in air every time you release the pedal, making your brakes feel soft.
