Why is the car leaking brake fluid?
Source from: How Stuff Works
Credits To: Josh Briggs
Do you suspect that your vehicle may have a leaky brake system? Is your brake fluid level just a little bit low? Well, one explanation for the low fluid level may be relatively simple: If your vehicle has worn brake pads or brake shoes, the fluid level in your brake fluid reservoir will be low. But let's say you have relatively new brake pads and you recently topped-off your brake reservoir only to notice a few days later that the fluid level has dropped noticeably. If that's the case, it's a good bet you have a leak somewhere in your brake system -- which means that you likely have bigger brake issues than something as simple as worn brake pads.
Your braking system is comprised of series of rubber and steel hoses, check valves, pistons and cylinders. They're all joined together, and work in concert to slow and stop your vehicle. It may help you to understand it all a little better if you imagine your brake system as a cardiovascular system, pumping blood to several different areas of the body. The vehicle's master cylinder acts as the heart and pumps brake fluid through brake lines to the extremities, in this case, the calipers and drums. This is where a lot of brake problems originate. At all four corners of your vehicle, brake lines -- with fittings that serve to connect the master cylinder to the different parts of the brake system that actually slow or stop your wheels -- quite simply, can leak. In fact, every part within the braking system that connects to another part has the potential to become yet another leak. Parts can become worn out or punctured or even pulled apart by road debris. Whatever the situation, if you have a brake fluid leak, you need to find and repair it as soon as possible.
To properly diagnose a brake leak, you must first locate the leaking point. The best way to do this is by parking your vehicle on a level surface for a couple of hours, then observing the position of the brake fluid that has accumulated beneath the vehicle. This will give you an idea as to which fitting may be the culprit. If you find that the puddle of brake fluid is beneath the rear of the engine -- not near one of the wheels -- you may have a leak somewhere in (or near) the master cylinder.
Bleeder bolts, sometimes called bleeder valves, are located on the brake calipers and are designed to allow brake fluid to flow out of the system. If you've recently had some brake work done on your vehicle, it may be that one of your bleeder valves was inadvertently left a little loose. If that's the case, it's a simple matter of tightening the valve to stop the fluid flow.
Perhaps you have a brake problem that includes a mushy, or soft, brake pedal. If you experience a brake pedal that goes straight to the floor with little or no resistance, you can quickly pump the pedal to build pressure. If you are unable to build pressure after several quick pumps, you may have a serious leak. It's possible that one of your vehicle's brake lines has been punctured or one of the fittings has failed. Both of these are easily fixed, but you must address them immediately -- your safety and the safety of other drivers depends on it.
Remember, brake fluid is essential for the brake system to operate properly. Leaks in the system release fluid, causing reduced (or even complete loss of) brake pressure. If you don't address the problem, your vehicle will eventually run out of brake fluid; however, chances are you won't get to that point, as the brakes won't continue to work after the fluid level drops beyond a certain level.

E6GMX GM Replacement Plug-In Computer
The All New Designed Haltech E6GMX Fully Programmable Plug-In Computer now available, complete with HalwinX windows software.
The Haltech E6GMX is a powerful “real-time” programmable fuel injection and ignition system computer designed as a plug-in replacement for certain models of DELCO computers used in General Motors and some other brands of motor vehicles. See below for model application.
The E6GMX uses HalwinX Windows software, the same software for programming E6X and F10X.
There is no need to install a wiring harness, sensors, relays, etc...
Simply plug it in, connect a suitable personal computer, boot up the supplied software and presto, you have a “real-time” programmable engine management system!
The E6GMX System optimises engine performance through the following capabilities:
- Complete 3D fuel and ignition control (1024 points each)
- Dual fuel and ignition maps
- Correction maps for fuel and ignition
- Closed loop fuel injection and idle speed control
- 2 Spare user definable outputs
- Datalogging
- Windows software
The E6GMX is much more than a programmable fuel injection computer - it provides logging of engine data and allows access in real time to maximise performance and trouble-shoot problems in a vehicle whilst running. The E6GMX has been designed for installations where changes have been made to the engine and full programmability is desired.
Improved features from previous model:
- Password protection of ECU maps
- Surface mount components
- New injector drivers (no need for two ECU variants)
- New Halwin Windows software
- On Board Barometric pressure sensor
- 2 Spare PWM outputs
- All Digital inputs and outputs are now configurable
- Dual mapping feature
- New Red Anodized box
The patented Haltech system of programming virtually eliminates the input of numbers. You simply manipulate bar graphs by pressing arrow keys on the attached PC running Haltech Programming software. Manipulating the bars allows you to increase or decrease the amount of fuel delivered or ignition advance at that particular RPM and load point. The process is repeated for all load points in each rpm range. Ignition timing is precisely mapped through the RPM range so that the exact timing required to obtain optimum performance is applied in every RPM and load range.
The newly evolved E6GMX with additional user definable PWM outputs suits the following applications:
- VL Walkinshaw
- VN, VP, VR* and VS*
- N13 Pulsar
- JD and JE Camira
* manual only
The E6GMX Kit includes:
ECU Programmable Computer, Instruction Manual on CD, Programming Disk, Patch Loom, Programming Cable, Haltech Stickers.

Haltech Interceptor
The Haltech Interceptor is a totally new “piggy back” ECU designed to work in parallel with your existing factory ECU.
The Interceptor provides tuning of fuel mixtures, ignition timing, boost levels and many other features. The Haltech Interceptor is installed using a universal type wiring loom and tuning is performed on a laptop with user friendly Interceptor software for Windows. As the Haltech Interceptor works with the factory ECU, you need only tune where necessary, maximising power whilst maintaining factory levels of economy, idle quality, cold start etc.
Performance has never been achieved so quickly, easily and affordably.
The Haltech Interceptor has been fully tested on many makes and models, with the range of supported vehicles constantly being expanded.
Current Supported Vehicles:
Supported models continually updated! With so many new innovative features, the opposition will be left behind.The Interceptor includes (basic):
ECU Programmable Computer, Interceptor Wire Harness, Programming Software & Haltech Stickers
