This is bizarre. Car is AE101 SEG.
I have a leaking brake fluid problem only when the car is parked outside and exposed to heat and rain.
When I parked the car inside the porch hoping to do some diagnosis on the leakage, the brake fluid didn't drop at all for a week.
When it is parked outside, it went from max to min level within approx 3 days, which triggered the handbrake light on the console permanently. Top up the brake fluid and the light will go off. This has happened twice with today being the worst because the level went to below minimum resulting the brake pedal to not engage the brakes at all.
I am not sure if heat is the culprit because when the car is driven I am sure the engine bay is even hotter than the weather outside and there was no loss of fluid. Could it be the rain? At the moment, it's pretty much raining daily for 2-3 hours.
Can anyone give any educated reasoning before I send the car off to the mechs?
