Brake Fluid leak as per earlier thread
Posted: 26 Feb 2012, 20:12
I have light leak onto the floor via the rubber boot on the steering shaft.
It is coming from a bolt just above, and dripping on a clear hose exiting on a banjo just above the clutch pedal.
There is no noticeable loss from the reservoir so I'm not too concerned I tightened the bolt which was already tight.
Presumably if the tightening does not work I guess I'll have to remove and re-seal the bolt.
I can't find any serious diagram of this part and would expect a large release of fluid.
will this need a total re- bleed or just a re-top up or the reservoir?

I borrowed the pic off the other thread - its the bolt that is just going out of the pic as it goes behind the steel cross member.
