[DML] Re: Brake Fluid Leak



Robert is right to be sure and clean off the frame and possibly the fuel tank closing plate (or cover plate). It appears that this happened to my car in the past. The brake fluid was on the fram and went into the fuel tank plate which ate up the paint and eventually caused rust. I had to repair the frame and replace the fuel tank cover plate (with a stainless steel one no less). BTW, if anyone needs a new stainless steel fuel tank cover plate contact me offline.
