I'm stumped! I have the rear brake calipers rom an '02 Camaro bolted to my '74? 10 bolt rear. The pedal has always been somewhat soft, but this past weekend I noticed what appeared to be brake fluid buildup all along the inside of the passenger side wheel. I looked over the caliper & hose but find no obvious signs of leakage. Any Ideas??
We use phosphorescent dye and UV light to find leaks in just about everything. It just takes a couple drops. Just use one that's compatible with the brake fluid you are using. You might try having a helper hold FIRM pressure on the pedal and see if you can see a drop form.
Took a closer look and it's the axle seal. I would have preferred to deal with the brakes than to take this rear end apart. Hmmmm, maybe time for an upgrade. I've had my eye on a posi!
