Brakes problem
1973 Volkswagen Beetle 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

I spotted a brake fluid leak that looks as if its coming from the undercarriage on the drivers side. (Possibly in the center tunnel ???). How can I access this, and how do I repair i?. Can I go to a flexible line instead of metal? Thanks

Hi there,

check the master cylinder first , if it is a steel line, this will be cheaper to replace than any mod that may not even be legal.
