Default Classic brake fluid.

My V2 has started using brake fluid, from full up to the light on the dash coming on in just over a month.

I have been under the car about 6 times in the last month checking all the hoses and connections to the calipers but i cant see anything.

Any ideas would be a help!

Pads are really good, it seems to be losing fluid. I am topping up loads.

Could be the master cylinder into the servo as that is a hard one to find and cannot see any fluid leak mostly.

Rule of thumb on most cars is brake fluid should never have to be topped up. Get it into a garage asap to have it sorted just for saftys sake.
