Brake Fluid: Testing and Inspection

Brake Fluid Leaks

With engine running at idle and the transmission in "Neutral", depress the brake pedal and hold a constant foot pressure on the pedal. If pedal
gradually falls away with the constant pressure, the hydraulic system may be leaking.
Check the master cylinder fluid level. While a slight drop in the reservoir level will result from normal lining wear, an abnormally low level in
reservoir indicates a leak in the system. The hydraulic system may be leaking internally as well as externally. Refer to Master Cylinder Inspection.
Also, the system may appear to pass this test but still have slight leakage. If fluid level is normal, check the vacuum booster push rod length. If an
incorrect length push rod is found, adjust or replace the push rod. Check the brake pedal travel and the parking brake adjustment.
When checking the fluid level, the master cylinder fluid level may be lower than the "MAX" mark if the front and rear linings are worn. This is
normal.
