randys Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Just replaced the front pads on my GS, and with the new pads, I had to spread the calipers a bit. When I got things backtogether, I found a small puddle of brake fluid on the ground, I can see a hose where it came from, obviously some overflow hose, Do I need to worry about how much fluid I got in there now? I just had the banjo bolt recall done, I am thinking with the new pads, I should be ok. ok? Link to comment
4wheeldog Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 If you are saying it came from the overflow vent hose in front of the rear wheel, (There are a collection of them for various vents), you are fine, good to go. It was actually slightly overfilled before. If it came from anywhere else, you are on your own.....Good Luck! Link to comment
Pictou Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I believe that the fluid comes from the ABS control unit. The reason I know this is that after my last service my fuel tank breather hose got pinched. When I asked the technician why he took the tank off he told me he wanted to check the abs unit as he had found a number of occasions where people had done exactly what you did and pushed the fluid out of the ABS unit. If you pushed too much out you will get a brake warning message on your dash. Keepi n mind that I am no mechanic and I am just relaying what I was told. Link to comment
randys Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 Yep, overflow vent hose from in front of the rear wheel. Just went for a test ride, no brake alert on the dash, and good brakes. 5 days till vacation! Link to comment
