Oil leak behind left front wheel

linlaoboo · 07-07-2016, 04:29 PM

Does anyone know where the leak is coming from? I just did a brake job and found a puddle of oil or lubricant behind the driver side front wheel. I look under the car and took inspected the brake lines and there's no leak there. It is dripping out of the joint between the tire well panel and the bottom panel. I'm having a hard time removing the 3 round rivets that holds the panel in place.

Do you think it could be brake fluids leaking from somewhere when I compressed the piston? how do I check the fluid level in case I need to top it off?

Problem solved. My brake fluid reservoir over flowed. Bleeded out all good.
