    You tell me, what part of the car does it seem to be coming from? Could be anything without knowing where it's coming from. Split brake hose on one of the corners, any one of the numerous fittings on the hard lines, rusted through hard line, ABS module, master cylinder.

    No leaks seem to be coming from the master cylinder, I was just curious if there are any trouble spots. I haven't gotten under and looked at it, because it's been terrible weather and it's parked outside in the alley.

    the right pas line is usually the first to blow, it sits in a crappy spot that gets crap kicked at it
