I was wonder if anyone could help me with my brake fluid leak its coming from or around the rear brake drum the bake of my tire is covered and my drum also looks covered and part of under of my axle is covered it brake fluid and I’m going to take it apart anyways but was wondering if anyone else had this problem and could help me
Im pretty sure i found out what it is its either the cylinder or the line that goes into it cause its leaking right at the fitting but first ima try to adjust the bleeder just to se if that fixes it
The bleeder is completely separate from the cylinder or the line. Bleeders are not "adjustable". They are either open or closed. If that's what's leaking, then yes, you can try tightening it. But that has nothing to do with a leak at the brake line or wheel cylinder. Clean everything off, have someone press the brake while you are watching everything.
Is that the original metal brake line on your truck? The newest 2nd gen truck is over 20+ years old. Those metal brake lines get rusty and/or brittle with age and may have rusted out or gotten twisted when replacing a wheel cylinder. Please check those metal brake lines closely and replace them as needed.
