FUN_STNG Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Fellow Mustang owners. Don't know if you might have noticed a break fluid leak on the master cylinder under the Brake Fluid Reservoir. As a member of the South Eastern Viginia Mustang Club (SEVMC) in Virginia Beach, VA we took a close look at all the 2005 & 2006 Mustangs at our Fall Show. I found that 70% of the '05/'06 had some degree of leak. I have sent photos to family members and friends that work for Ford in Detroit. The engineers have looked at them and recommend that anyone having the problem report it to their dearler. This is a problem that would not be discovered by the daily driver who doesn't clean their engine. Those of use who show our cars on a regular basis and take the time to clean our engines have discovered the problem. Like I mentioned before, this is a problem we have found on the '05/'06s in Virginia Beach. Are other owners seeing the same problem?

flashfearless Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Fellow Mustang owners. Don't know if you might have noticed a break fluid leak on the master cylinder under the Brake Fluid Reservoir. ... Old news. Problem is with the Brake Fluid cap. There are a number of theories / home remedies. One of them is to take a turkey baster and siphon off some fluild. Problem is that as delivered from factory, the cap is too full and will leak. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.p...ght=brake+fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not from the Brake Fluid Cap. Knew about that problem. Haven't had any leaks from the cap. This is developing around the seal as shown in the pictures. Have you seen anything like it?
