Brake Fluid Leak on Drivers side - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Grrrrrrrr!
I just stopped a leak on my Crown Vic with the brakes.

Now I have a slow leak on the drivers side right by the rear door.

Its a 1992 I-4 with 148K miles.

Any idea on a inexpensive fix? Do I need to replace the whole brake line? If So, where is a good place to buy it from and is it the REAR brake line?

I have no idea how the brake lines run on this car

slow leak, check fittings and the rear brake piston (usually piston leaks at the seal) and get a refurb'd replacement.

Well the leak isnt coming from the rear tire area. Its coming from the middle of the car on the drivers side.

What should I get to replace the line?

I dont even know what brake line it IS. The rear?

you can always fly down a street and slam on your breaks, if they lock up its not abs =P or just look up for your model yr

Not a good way to find out when you already have a leak in the system.

Look for Chilton/Hanes Manual or a Toyota Factory service Manual

ABS unit will have a large aluminum block with lots (8) hydraulic brake lines entering /exiting between windshield washer reservoir and power steering reservoir
