Roamer Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Well to update on my issue of leaking brake fluid I have traced it to the ABS unit itself, has anyone here ever had this problem? Is there a fix or must the entire unit be replaced? If so I would welcome any good places to search for used parts or if anyone happens to have one here please send me an offer:) Thanks in advance.... 1996 Legacy LSI wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 hi i also had the same problem with my 93 legacy and the dealer wanted $2000 to fix it, but instead wat we did was say $2k can buy alot of brake fluid so we kept topping the brake fluid for a year and maintained the level, and eventually it stopped lleaking and this happened about 4 years ago, and since then we haven't added a drop and still running with the same amount, hopefully this will work out for u. I suggest u use recommended brake fluid, however im not sure but i think it's DOT-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I agree, if you check all the connections to make sure they are tight, and dont see any cracked brake lines ( if they are thats an easy fix), just keep an eye on the fluid. Worse comes to worse and the ABS gets really bad, you can plumb around it. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
