Re: IML: cold weather/leaking brakes-67

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

The brakes should not be leaking in any weather. Maybe its something 
else, so check again. If it is brake fluid, don't drive the car until 
you fix it. Leaky brakes are dangerous. Since you did recent brake 
work, check that the fluid lines are tight. If that's not it, something 
is going wrong. Leaky wheel cylinders, M/C, pressure valve, metal 
lines, and flex-lines are all suspect.

Subject: IML: cold weather/leaking brakes-67

My 67 Crown Coupe was ressurected from a barn about 3 years ago. At 
this time I
had all the brakes thoroughly rebuilt, including the front disc 
brakes.As a
result of this, I have always been impressed at how well the brakes 
perform for
a car this size.

The other day I noticed that both front brakes were leaking fluid.The 
car is
stored outside in a carport and had not been driven for about 6 
weeks.The
weather here in Salt Lake has been stagnant, with lows in the single 
digits or
low teens for about a month straight.Highs have generally been high 
twenties.

Anyhow, I fired her up and took her for a gentle drive around the
neighborhood.Since then, no evidence of leaky brakes, everything seems 
fine.

Has anybody ever noticed any relationship between sustained cold 
weather and
leaky seals?
Rob
