2000 Dodge Ram losing brake fluid


Recommended Posts

If you are losing fluid at that rate you should be able to see dampness at the site of the leak. Check the insides of the tires for wheel cylinders or caliper leaks. Also check the bottom rear of the master cylinder to see if the leak is there. If all of those look ok, do a visual check of the rest of the brake lines and hoses. You'll find it........

I would also say rear wheel cylinders leaking is the most likely culprit. They most likely leak when brake pressure is applied. The excess fluid will leak into the brake shoe area and then out the drum on to the rim and tire while driving, then spin off when the wheel is turning. The chances or a puddle forming on to the garage floor are very slim, unless the truck sits for a long period of time. Add in the wet road conditions we have had, it would be hard to decipher where the leak is occurring, unless in the leak was around the master cylinder where it is dry.

Either way, good idea on bringing it in. Good luck!
