Guess the Origin of this Leak - Lame Entertainment
Here is a shot of my latest leak. See if you can guess its origin. HINT -- the puddle you see is brake fluid.

Rubber hose that feeds the master, the one under the clutch pedal. Wrap it real good with some tape and move it to one side of the clutch lever, it's only a gravity feed line.

How about a can of brake fluid that you left laying on the footbox? I'm out of guesses after that one. Front/rear brake master cylinders? ???

Looks like it's running off the frame, not from the box.
Pin hole in one of the lines?

Excellent observation, you're on the right track.... but there are no pin holes, anywhere. |

Those steel brake lines are as good as new (new meaning no holes), but you're getting warmer... |

That's close enough. The leak was coming from the rubber hose that connects the remote reservoirs to the steel lines. The drip trailed down the steel lines until it hit the frame and box area where it dropped. You couldn't even see the damn leak. I found it by wrapping the lines with paper towels right below the reservoirs -- solved it by replacing the faulty "pinch" clip with an old fashioned screw clamp. See below:

I had the same issue until I converted all feed lines to SS flex line and AN3 connections. I really hate rubber hoses at this point.
