Yet another problem,van went in for m.o.t last week passed,
but when i got it home it was wet all over drivers side foot well, thought it was water at first .Turns out to be brake fluid,
do you need to take all the dash off to get a look at it ,and what could be the most probable cause .thanks for any help

No just pop the top of the cluster off, then the plastic cover.....the master cylinder resevoir is under there, you can also reach the master cylinder from underneath....
