What are the causes of brake fluid leakage?
1 Answers
The causes of brake fluid leakage include the following: 1. Brake hose rupture: The brake hose connects the brake pump to the brake caliper. When the brake pedal is pressed, brake fluid is transmitted through the hose to the caliper piston, which then pushes the brake pads against the brake disc to generate braking force. If the brake hose ruptures, leakage will inevitably occur. 2. Damaged sealing rings: Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Although sealing rings are resistant, they will degrade over time, reducing their sealing effectiveness and leading to leakage. 3. Loose or damaged hose screws: If the hose screws are damaged, leakage may occur. Simply replace the screw if it is damaged, or tighten it if it is loose.
