Find the source of the leak. Most likely areas are a brake line at the wheels, or the master cylinder at the upper part of the firewall in the engine compartment.

How does the cycle of hydraulic fluid work in robotic application's weather it reuses itself or simply has to be replaced?
In any general application, hydraulic fluid is contained inside a system consisting of pumps, actuators, and hoses. The hydraulic fluid is not actually consumed, except in the case of leaking fluid or a fluid change.
Why is it dangerous to let air get into brake pipes?
Air is easily compressed and the amount of fluid that must be pushed into the brake lines to transmit the force to the brakes increases greatly when air is present. Normally, the brake is activated by the brake pedal connected to the master cylinder. The master cylinder has a small piston that moves when you press on the brake pedal and that piston pushes brake fluid out of the cylinder and into the brake lines which ultimately causes brake fluid to flow to the wheel cylinders which them move and provide the force to press the brake pad against the disc or brake drum connected to the wheel. When there is air in the brake lines, the master cylinder pushed more fluid in than the amount of fluid that comes out at the wheel cylinders. This is because the air in the brake line is being compressed where in the normal situation there is essentially no compression of the brake fluid. Thus, to apply the same amount of force to the brake pads, the piston in the master cylinder has to move further. If there is a lot of air, then the piston has to move much further. If there is truly a large amount of air, then the piston in the master cylinder may move through its entire allowed distance and still not provide enough pressure to adequately press the brake pad against the frictional surface connected to the wheel. Three things to notice that decrease braking effectiveness and hence are dangerous. 1. Air in the lines gets compressed so that the amount of force creating friction at the wheels is less when compared to the same amount of mechanical movement of the brake mechanism. 2. The maximum amount of braking force is limited if the amount of air allows the piston in the master cylinder to travel its full length. 3. If you have air in the lines, it may be caused by a leak and more air may enter and further decrease braking effectiveness. Air in brake lines is usually a simple problem and easy to correct by "bleeding" the brakes.
Why is the nuclear reactor surrounded by a thick concrete layer?
To stop radiation leaking out. Alpha and Beta types of radiation will be stopped by the concrete
Changed pads rotors calipers brake hoses bled lines am getting fluid to the brakes there are no leaks brake pedal is stiff when engine is off but it loosens when engine starts no brakes why is this?
the master cylinder is whats bad
What is the Difference between a brake cylinder leak and an axle seal leak?
It all depends on what part is leaking what fluid. Brake cylinder would leak brake fluid. Axle seal would leak gear oil.

What factors can cause brakes to fade or fall?
Worn brake shoes or pads. A leaking brake pipe. Low brake fluid. Air in the brake fluid pipe.
Mazda MPV leaking yellow fluid?
If a Mazda MPV is leaking yellow fluid then it is possible that the fluid is brake fluid. It is best to take the car to a mechanic right away.
What does brake warning light mean?
You might be out of brake fluid. Our rear wheel cylinder was leaking and ran ours out of fluid and the light came on.
Were is the brake fluid coming from if it's coming from the back left tire?
Possibly coming from a leaking brake cylinder. Top up fluid and take to a brake shop ASAP.
