brake fluid leaking

[baccam]

i just bought my 91 gsx two days ago and when i brought it back home the ebrake light comes on. i checked the brake fluid and it's at the minimal line. i fill it back up and the brake light goes off, so im happy. then this morning there is a puddle of brake fluid on the ground. where can it be leaking?

Um... pretty much straight up from the puddle? I mean, you're there, we aren't.

Could you give a clue, such as front or rear or whatever of the car?

it's leaking right by the driver side front wheel. almost right under the break fluid bottle. but i couldnt find anything around there that had oil exept right by the driver side front wheel. there is another place where it's leaking. it's right below the battery. that metal thingy, the one with the metal wires, the one that sends the fluids to the breaks. how much will this all cost for me to fix?

 

[baccam]

whenever i step on the breaks that metal thing pumps out oil.

1.) They're BRAKES, not breaks. Yours are already broken.

2.) From your elocution insofar as the use of technical terms is indicating, I infer that you have no business working on a braking system. It is doubtful that changing radio channels is within your realm of mechanical acumen.

Off to the shop, count on a $500 bill to get the car back out.

it's the ABS. brought it to the dealer. said the part itself is $2300. damn thats expensive. sorry for the writing breaks intead of brakes. was just freaking out cause i just got this car and the person i bought it from never told me about this

if it was the ABS then wouldnt the light come on? my <b>BRAKE</b> light is the only one that turns on
