oc
curs only with the parking brake, th
e concern is in the rear brake system.
If the concern becomes evident during this check, verify it fits the description given before the road test. If the concern is
not evident, attempt to duplicate the condition using the information from the description.
If a concern exists, use the Symptom Chart in order to isolate it to a specific sub-system and condition description. From
this description, a list of possible sources can be used to further narrow the cause to a specific component or condition.

Type 1: An external leak may be occur at the master cylinder reservoir cap because of incorre ct positioning of gasket and
cap. Reposition cap and gasket.
Type 2: An external leak may occur at th e reservoir mounting seals. Repair such a leak by installing new seals and make
