Posted earlier about installing front brake pads on 99 maxima. However, now
that I've had a chance to look, I have brake fluid leaking from right back
wheel. Is all over inside of wheel, and just today really started leaking ,
is leaving fluid on driveway. Have been adding a little fluid, but not a
whole lot. Fluid reservoir is now empty, so has started leaking bad now.
Does this sound like a line or seal problem. Know I'll have to take it to
shop, just wondering what I should expect to pay. ( My local mechanic, not
dealership) Thanks for any help

I think you will be needing a full brake job on front wheels Min. But if was my
auto I would get all wheels reworked I am sure they will check lines and seals
at piston after the replacment. With rotors turned I think you are looking at
around $250.

Probably a leaky caliper. Easy to replace or rebuild.

Buy a rebuilt caliper and install it. I would not think it was a line.
Don't drive it like this until it is fixed as you will have no brakes.
After you install another caliper or line you will have to bleed the
brakes to get the air out of the system
