- Damaged Brake Line: The brake line that carries the brake fluid from the master cylinder to the rear brakes could be damaged. This can happen due to corrosion, impact, or other wear and tear.
- Loose or Damaged Fittings: The fittings that connect the brake lines to the brake calipers or wheel cylinders may be loose or damaged, allowing brake fluid to leak.
- Faulty Wheel Cylinder or Caliper: The wheel cylinder or caliper that controls the brake pad or brake shoe at the right rear wheel may be faulty, allowing brake fluid to leak from the seals.
- Master Cylinder Issues: In rare cases, the master cylinder, which is responsible for generating hydraulic pressure in the brake system, could be faulty, causing brake fluid to leak from its reservoir or the lines connected to it.
To determine the exact source of the brake fluid leak, a thorough inspection of the brake system is necessary. It is important to address any brake fluid leak promptly to prevent compromised braking performance and ensure the safety of the vehicle.
