Re: brake fluid leakage

["therealdmcvegas" <DMCVegas@xxxx>]

Same situation here. Whenever the D sits for a period of time that 
lets it get cold, the brake fluid starts to leak. On my car, the leak 
appears to be from the rubber seals between the brake Master 
Cylinder, and the brake fluid Reservoir. The problem with this leak 
is it will eat the epoxy off of the chassis on both sides. Some of 
the fluid will drip down between the gas tank, and the chassis. To 
check and see if this is your problem, pull the access panel in the 
trunk to inspect it. Be wary if the gas tank has a 'wet' look to it. 
You can also turn the steering wheel to get visual access to the side 
of the chassis.
