So I was changing the brake pads on my 4Runner tonight and when me and my buddy got the vehicle jacked up on the passenger side, I heard something leaking on the driver's side.

I figured out that some brake fluid had leaked out of the reservoir and trickled down onto the garage floor. It did stop, but it was enough to bust out some kitty litter to soak it up.

I looked at the reservoir and it looks like there is still plenty of fluid left.

Was this normal? If not, what should I do?

After the job was complete, I drove it around the neighborhood and it stopped just fine.

Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.

 

Well.. Where did the leak come from?

 

Oops...

It came from the top of the brake fluid reservoir where the cap is and trickled down and into the engine area and to the garage floor.

I drove it in to work this morning and around the area for work and didn't have any issues with it.
