2003 4runner limited v8 leaking brake fluid

[Thomasmk]

Can anyone help me with my 4runner leaking small amounts of brake fluid from somewhere under the driver side? its not coming from the caliper or brake line. warning light on dash came on about 6 weeks ago then I noticed fluid low in master cylinder so I filed it to max then 2 days ago light came on again in the morning and it was low again I looked underneath and saw frame wet, had it inspected by someone and he cannot find anything on brake lines or around wheels or on firewall behind master cylinder.

Can you provide us with some more information on your problem - how have you narrowed it down to brake fluid? Any other symptoms (e.g., low brake fluid level, warning light on dash)?

If you do suspect a brake problem, I would proceed carefully (e.g., consider having the vehicle towed to a reputable mechanic).

Could it be a leak of your X-REAS suspension?

Does your 4Runner still have the wheel aprons attached to the wheel wells? There are brake lines behind that, maybe one of those lines are leaking.

Hmm ... sure hope it is not your brake booster - those are expensive.
