I have not had any panic stops yet and I have only played with the TC once in the rain.
I flushed everything out with brake cleaner and then water...waiting for it to dry to decide whether it has damaged the paint. I cannot figure out where the brake fluid is coming from, the cap was on tight. I took it off and double cleaned it an confirmed the rubber was in correctly. Any ideas...??? Thanx, SSN8R |

Mine leaks a bit out of the cap also... I just wipe it off when I wash the car.

I saw the same thing in mine the other day. I only have ~5000 miles (mostly highway)and do not drive it harsh. I couldn't find where it was coming from. I hope it's nothing serious.

If you don't change the oil yourself -- could it be due to some carelessness of the quickie oil change fellas maybe spilling a little brake fluid after topping it off?
I know its a stretch.

Checking under the hood is one of my very first checks before I leave the dealership lot with the car for the first time

mine is pretty bad, need to clean it really good soon here. It happens if your clutch pedal sticks once, and any time you stink up the clutch afterwards.
thank gm, for not adding a second reservoir!

I kept wiping mine off...eventually it stayed clean. I wonder if there is too much in the system causing an overflow situation from the brake fluid expanding from heat from hard driving?

Mine has that too. I haven't changed 1500 miles and haven't touched the fluids yet.
