Brake problems
I'm back again!
This time, it's brakes. My pedal is very soft. About two years ago, I replaced all of the calipers, pads and rotors. I upgraded the fronts to Defender calipers, with slotted and drilled rotors. Also have EBC pads on all four wheels. I don't think my problem is in the wheels.
When I first noticed it last night, I checked the reservoir, and it was lower than it ever has been. I have no warning light on.
The front of the reservoir had a clear fluid on the seam between the top and bottom of the reservoir. I dried that off, and refilled the res.
I had to drive it a little more last night, and have just checked the res this morning. No fluid on the res seam, but the bottom of the cap has some. Also, the cap doesn't ever tighten, but it is on securely, if that makes sense. Res is still full.
Edit:I also looked at where the servo and master cyl. meet up. It looks like the fluid may have leaked out and travelled to that area.
AB has the whole unit as one: Res and cylinder.
Advance Auto shows the cylinder separate. Does that make any sense? Could it just be the res?
What do you guys think?
Thanks for any advice you might have.

Disco I SD '99 Stock 144k mi. New stock suspension, new steering box, new rear shaft joints, Cooper Discovery ATR's and announcing a totally redone set of heads. May 2013: Brakes converted to Defender style: Calipers, stainless flex lines, drilled, slotted and vented rotors. Stops like it hit a wall when you stand on them now!
12-2016 update: Coopers are done. Michelin Defender LTXs on the way!
