as per title really il be taking it to a garage soon
but i was curious to see if there are any common problems with fc\'s with leaking brake fluid

so far i\'ve checked all the calipers and brake lines and its not leaking there neither is it leaking from the front brake lines from the reservoir to the brakes.

i haven\'t checked the rear ones yet so my guess is its either that or its leaking near the reservoir i read on rx7club that they sometimes leak between the clutch and brake ,master cylinder

thanks in advance, connor.

flatout

have a look at the break booster, thats where they tend to give probs, unbolt the master cylinder bet the seal is gone, you should see fluid under the reservoir where it bolts into the booster

thanks butt il have to have a look at that it does seem moist on the master cylinder

i should say as well that the abs has been removed and i lose fluid when i turn enthusiastically :) around bends for example tonight i  turned on a tight left hand turn in a car park and the brake light comes on

update:
looks like i found the culprit not sure what it called but i think its were the end of the handbrake cable enters the caliper

any ideas were i could get a new one

bumping this up again its leaking again from the handbrake cable bush

anyone else had the same problem
