One test ‘you’ can do is park vehicle in a dry spot - or place a large piece of cardboard under front of car - apply park brake and start engine - FIRMLY depress and HOLD brake pedal down - shift transmission to drive - SLIGHTLY depress accelerator for no longer than 10 seconds - shift back to park and turn engine OFF - look for fluid leak under vehicle.
May need to repeat test a couple of times - just don’t over do it and use caution!
IF uncomfortable with trying test - seek qualified hands-on help.
