Yesterday I pull up in my friend's yard and hop out of the truck and as I walk by the left front I notice some sort of fluid all over the inner fender! Look and it was all over the back of the tire,like the tire had slung the fluid up onto the inner fender,shock tower etc. Crawl under,the rubber brake line looks fine,no leaking caliper or anything. Look under the hood,on the top of the shock tower it's covered in the same fluid,rub it and smell and it's brake fluid! I've now pressure washed underneath the truck really well and cleaned all that mess up,looked all over anything dealing with the brakes and everything was dry as a bone and no leaking but the back resivior in the master cylinder was a little low of fluid(is that resivior for the front or rear brakes!?) It stayed dry as a bone and I drove to town today,come back this evening and stop to see the preacher,talk and walk back to my truck and there is a puddle of brake fluid right under the left front of the truck,with a flashlight I've looked all over the dang place and I can't find where the fluid is coming from!! It looks like whatever is leaking has leaked down on top of the tower that the sway bar end link bolts to and thats dipping onto the tie rod and that's dipping to the ground. I can't find anything wet from fluid under the hood or under it other than on top of that end link tower and such!!!! Don't look like the resivior is any lower than it was yesterday either I need suggestions in a exteremly bad way! The truck is gonna need brakes but nothing is stuck or that bad off to cause it to just blow fluid from the resivior..I'm out of ideas and it's just been a bad week then my only ride decides to do this to me. Makes a feller just want to sit down and cry

 

Are you sure it's not power steering fluid?

 

Power steering fluid don't eat paint off everything is touches! I looked and I sure don't think it's PS fluid,cause brake fluid has a lot different smell too.

 

A leak anywhere in the brake system will cause very poor braking.
Are you experiencing it?
