hello guys, im new to the jaguar world, I have a 1988 Vander Plus xj40 and the hydraulic brake system is leaking and it seem to be coming from the wheel wells but im not 100% sure, I was wondering if you guys could give me some tips.


Thank you

 

hi csperling, welcome to the forums.

When you say the brake system is leaking....
do you mean the brake fluid from the master cylinder... or the green Hydraulic like fluid from the booster at the front corner???

 

Not sure if this will help you or not. But mine also leaks... On mine, it is the hydraulic fluid for the brake booster and self leveling suspension.

On my car, (could also be yours also) The high pressure house from the pump, located on the front of the motor, to the valve block. On the Passenger side fender leaks.. It is just a pin hole, but does make a mess and makes it appear to drip from the fender, and right under the front bumper...

The hose, leaks right at the connection from metal to rubber. On the side of the crimp...

This is on my car, but you can start there and wipe down all the lines with a rag. Start the car, let it build up pressure and check for fluid leaks.
