brake fluid leak

I've got a slow leak under my MC, and I have a couple questions...first off, is this part of the proportioning valve? I've circled where the fluid is coming from...it does not seem to be coming from the hard line next to it. How is it getting out right there, and how do I stop it?

Re: brake fluid leak

Man I have a similar issue. Mine doesn't leak too much. As far as I know you would have to buy another one and hope (if used) that it doesn't leak too.

Or you buy this, http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par.../N-izlvnZ8kobu

119.99+40.00 core charge.

Also I bet if yours is like mine I can jack the rear axle up off the ground and the brakes won't stop the rear wheels from spinning. If so you can bleed the system but that doesn't last long.

Re: brake fluid leak

Interesting -- I didn't think my truck had ABS. But that's definitely what that thing is. Thanks!!
