Hi All

Still loving reading the forums.

Silly question... if the brake fluid reservoir cap is not on correctly will it affect my brakes ?

I recently had a rear fluid leak and noticed just now the garage hadn't put the fluid cap back on correctly.

What does everyone think ?

Kind regards from Dave in Wales

In reality,no. However if it's been loose enough to allow water or dirt to contaminate the fluid? It would be wise to replace what's in the reservoir. This is easy with a large capacity syringe.

Thanks Nodge, it was only done on Monday and the cap was on but just not on correctly so hopefully no contaminate got in there.

Many thanks for your reply.

Cheers - Dave

if you have not got a big syringe if it needed doing use a dry sponge but be careful not to drop any on paint.
