The fluid goes down every now and then but always seemed worse after very cold weather. Anyway the other day I have a puddle of fluid on the floor and zero pedal resistance......I have a feeling one of the hard lines on the drivers side may have split.

 

So my question is - Is this hard line easy to replace or is it a pain and gonna cost lots of dosh to get it sorted. I'm hoping that at either end of this hard pipe it goes to a rubber pipe so its not too painful to replace...But knowing Nissan, these things run all the way to the ABS unit.....like spaghetti junction plumbing!

 

Is taking the brake line guard off easy enough - I havent got underneath to have a proper look yet.....

 

Any help would be great!

Are you shore its not the master cylinder I know these go after 50-60k check under the master cylinder on the brake servo for a leak this happend to me not so long ago

Yeah I know the master cylinder is a culprit in these things, but I cant see any fluid around it - thats not to say its not seeping out and running down the line to the bottom of the car!!!!

 

I'll have a better look in the daylight today and see if I can trace the source better.

Most likely is the master cylinder, mine does it sometimes - only if I leave the car a week or so without driving it?. Fluid drips down onto a ledge, then along the sump protector so it can be tricky to see where it comes from.
