Well it looks like im leaking brake fluid from the master cylinder which is trickling down the brake booster and onto the floor...........paint on booster is stripped as it drips down.......booked into Honda.....AGAIN, after getting a new engine 4 months ago due to a porous block.....

Any1 seen this brake fluid leak happen before on a Euro?

yes, it's a common sign you have a rooted seal in the cylinder, get it fixed. how much fluid on the floor btw?

Hard to say how much it leaks, I never topped up the reservoir, just got the brake fluid changed last this month and they didnt even notice it....I first noticed a yellow fluid drop on the floor in December but hadn't seen another one since yesterday, i suspect it leaks whilst driving most of the time because I have a white vinyl under the car in the garage and havent seen any drops since Dec till yesterday.

i had the same problem...my 1yr old euro in 2008 had leaking brake fluid, it was resolved under warranty through the dealer. Top up brake fluid, make sure all seals/screws are secured tight, ask dealer to check brake hoses and pressure

You would think they would have seen it when they blead the brakes earlier this month................

You think or you know?? They usually put everything into writing on service papers, ask if they have done a pressure test, its your car man, you paid for it, i would chase it up to every bit of detail

it was a mistake, probably an apprentice who didn't know any better, chill out with the hate.
Bring it back, notify them, easy fix GG <2 hours + courtesy services if you pull out the tears and the tantrums
