Have just noticed that the brake fluid in my car is disappearing from the reservoir. It has leaked all over the wheel arch in the engine bay and stripped off all the paint
I can fix the paint easily enough, but I can't see where the fluid is leaking from - it doesn't seem to be the servo, are there any common problems known, such as seals on the bottom of the reservoir, or is it the pipe connectors on shiny metal thing (not sure what it is ATM) near the boost solenoid?
Please help if you can, as this looks a serious problem. I don't want to run out of talent before I have a chance to get it to a garage.
Thanks

Thanks - I don't have braded hoses yet, and given the problems I've had with things rubbing on the wheels, I'll be careful
The leak is definitely in the engine bay - that's where the paint is stripped.
