Why is my 96 Acura TL losing brake fluid?

Here are some potential reasons:

- Leak in brake line: Inspect the brake lines for any visible cracks or leaks. Rusted or corroded brake lines should be replaced.

- Faulty master cylinder: A faulty master cylinder can cause brake fluid to leak from the reservoir. Check the master cylinder for any signs of damage or leaks.

- Worn brake pads: As brake pads wear down, they can cause brake fluid to leak from the calipers. Inspect the brake pads and replace them if they are worn.

- Faulty brake caliper: A faulty brake caliper can cause brake fluid to leak from the caliper. Inspect the brake calipers for any signs of damage or leaks.

- Bad O-rings: O-rings are small rubber rings that seal the connections between brake system components. If an O-ring is damaged or worn, it can cause brake fluid to leak.

- Incorrect installation of brake components: If brake components are not properly installed, they may not seal properly and can cause brake fluid to leak.
