My wifes Civic is leaking brake fluid by the drivers side door, the bottom part by the rubber seal...
It will then leak onto the ground from that area...
Nothing is leaking under the car, Carpets dry also..Everything seems dry but the area i mentioned...
Was thinking Master Cyl ?...
Brake line? When driving nothing seems abnormal, brakes feel fine and it shifts great...
Also any trustworthy shops anyone could toss out would be great also...
Thank you Smytty

5spd or auto? Like Goldenpony stated, could be brake master or clutch master cylinder leaking down the firewall, obviously clutch would only be if it wasn't an auto!

Sounds like it could be a master issue following gravity. If your ever in the Milford area I can throw it up on my lift and see whats happening.

It seems to be emptying that one instead of the big one...

Thats the clutch master cylinder. It could be leaking from it instead.

Sounds like a blown seal in the clutch master cyl. Easy/cheap fix.

sounds like your clutch master cylinder for sure. The hard line could have a pin hole in it shooting toward the fender/firewall. Need to fill it back up with some fluid and have someone pump it to see where its leaking at.
