Where from?0
-
well the oil is running down the leaver so i think its from the leaver area but not sure0
-
Reservoir cap, bleed nipple, hose? Try and find out where. Clean it up and pull the lever firmly and see if any more comes out.0
-
its coming from the reservoir cap the under neath and dripping onto the shifters0
-
from the cap tighten the torx screws in the cap."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

the cap is at tight as it could be0
-
then the seal is split."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Order a new seal/diaphragm.0

When does it brake lever leak? when using it or when you push the pads back?
My juicy 5's were leaking from the reservoir cap when I pushed the pistons back - I did make sure that the torq screws were tight but I believe I had over filled the system at some point!!! Cant see how as I followed the book to the letter.....
Also if you do order a new seal lever rebuild kit for your juicy 3's, make sure its the correct one!!! The diaphragm I didn't use because it was the wrong one, what I waste of £10 for two 'O' rings!!! Not impressed - Hope brakes on the wish list now!!
