‘IF’ brake fluid level is not dropping in master cylinder - suspect AXLE SEAL leaking differential lube.

Axle lube has a very distinctive smell - have mechanic check it out - won’t take long to figure it out!

NOW - ‘IF’ brake fluid is indeed dropping in master cylinder - re-check your work - brake line fitting at wheel cylinder is suppect.
