Question

I checked for leaks in the system eveywhere i can think of but dont see any leakes, where is the brake fluid going? I am useing DOT 4 fluid and have completely bled the system and filled with fresh new fluid.

Answer
Brian,

it must be leaking out of the slave or
push cylinder. You may be able to buy
a seal kit to rebuild it.
Also check the washers on the banjo bolt
fittings on the hose.
Number 29 here is the slave seal kit:
