There are quite a few reasons why your brake fluid might leak.
Damaged Brake Lines.
Worn Brake Components Causing Caliper Seal Failure.
Leak in Master Cylinder.
Faulty ABS.
Master Cylinder.
Anti-Lock Brakes.
Hydraulic.
There are several conditions under which your car would leak brake fluid. One of the rubber hoses, brake calipers, wheel cylinders, or master cylinders could be leaking. Worn brake pads or shoes causing caliper seal failure. Loose bleeder valves.

How water in brake fluid causes a loss of braking force?
The water will boil when the fluid gets hot. Steam in the fluid will causes a loss of hydraulic pressure.
Why is it dangerous to allow air bubbles into the brake fluid?
Air unlike brake fluid can be compressed. When there is air in the brake system it compresses when you apply the brakes. This causes a loss of brake pressure on the brake pads and results in much longer stopping distances. This is dangerous and will cause an accident.
What does the brake warning light on a Chrysler Town and Country mean?
The red brake warning light is an indication of low fluid, a loss of pressure, or the parking brake being set.The red brake light stays on when the parking brake is set, the fluid is low, or there us a loss of pressure.
Why does brake pedal go to floor sometimes 96 olds aurora?
sounds like overheating of brake line, either from hot pavement, or cat converter. causes brake fluid to boil and loss of pedal.
Why does brake pedal go to the floor?
Normally this is caused by a Master Cylinder that has failed. Replace the Master Cylinder. Normally this is caused by the loss of fluid in the brake system. The fluid reservoir needs to be checked first. It possibly may be caused by a bad master cylinder but the most common cause is loss of brake fluid.
Does loss of interstitial fluid leads to dehydration and causes loss of skin elasticity?
Yes it does. Loss of interstitial fluid is the same thing as dehydration. And that loss of fluid makes the skin less elastic, when you pinch it, it does not spring back as quickly.
How do you check master cylinder on a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan?
Gradual Loss of brake pedal height (pedal sinks to floor)? but fluid level proper--internal leak Loss of brake fluid? Back of master cylinder (where is attaches to booster) wet with brake fluid? External Remove master cylinder and see if booster has fluid in bottom (bad real seal)
Will brake fluid leaking on motorcycle tires be harmful to the tires?
Brake fluid will make the surface of the tire slick, resulting in loss of traction. If left un attended for a long period of time, the brake fluid will "dry rot" the rubber and cause separation.
What causes metabolic shock?
loss of fluid through vomiting and diarrhoea
Chevy Venture brake line leaking?
When a brake line is leaking on the Chevy Venture the brake line should be replaced as soon as possible. A leak, however small, can cause hydraulic fluid to escape the brake line which will cause a loss in brake pressure. The brakes should be bled of air after the new line is put in to remove gaps in brake pedal pressure.
My 2001 Ford F250 has overnight gotten or lost its brake pressure and the pedal goes to bottom anyone know what it is?
brake pressure loss and pedal going straight to floor is mostly caused by loss of brake fluid or air in brake system look under car and on inside of wheels to see if fluid is leaking. check brake fluid level at master cylander if no fluid seems to be leaking, have the brake system bled for air. this is the simplest remedy to start with if that doesnt fix it have the brake power booster checked to make sure fluis is not leaking into that also check on firewall in engine bay round booster for fluid and on inside of cab on firewall for fluid
Is a small amount of power steering fluid mixed in with the brake fluid harmful?
Yes. It will cause the seals to swell up in the master cylinder. This will cause a loss of braking. You need to remove the fluid and flush out the master cylinder(with clean brake fluid) immediatly.
