Evening all,

I have a slight problem with my 1990 Disco v8, it keeps loosing brake fluid. It isn't a big leak, because after I've filled up the reservoir it takes weeks for the warning light to come on. I can't see any leaks anywhere. Any ideas?
 
nice to know it only takes a couple of weeks for the warning light to come on :rolleyes:
wot appins wen yer goin down a road an it decides to dissapear alltogether:eek:
if yer cant diy get it looked at :mad:
 
That's what I'm doing, doing it myself. I just thought I'd ask first if there's some common place where a leak might occur.
It takes longer than a couple of weeks to empty, sorry if I was a bit unclear.
Some time ago the light came on and then I filled it up. This was weeks, maybe even months ago. At the time I thought it was nothing, because it had been years since I last even looked at the reservoir. But then today the light came back on so there must be a problem.

That's damn right scary considering your braking system are probably the most important parts to be checked regularly:eek::eek::eek:

Guilty as charged! But, before I hardly used the Disco - it used to sit on my drive for months at a time. Hence the little maintenance on my part. These days I use it a lot more and so I've been spending a lot of time (and money!) fixing it up!
