Drinking brake fluid

Postby Pud2010 » Fri Nov 10, 2017 7:30 pm

Hi guys.

Really hoping you can help with this one. I have a 05plate 1998cc 260s for the last couple of months it has been drinking a lot of brake fluid.
I had the front brake pads and shoes done about 6 months ago but for the last 3 months every month I have to fill up the brake fluid reservoir.

Please help. Is it something simple or a big job.

Mark.
