RE: IML: cold weather/leaking brakes-67



the cold weather should NOT do that, I live in upstate NY where 3 months are like your description and brakes dont leak.


From: "Rob Bennett" <robbennett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
\>My 67 Crown Coupe was ressurected from a barn about 3 years ago. At this time I had all the brakes thoroughly rebuilt, including the front disc brakes.As a result of this, I have always been impressed at how well the brakes perform for a car this size.

The other day I noticed that both front brakes were leaking fluid.The car is stored outside in a carport and had not been driven for about 6 weeks.The weather here in Salt Lake has been stagnant, with lows in the single digits or low teens for about a month straight.Highs have generally been high twenties.

Anyhow, I fired her up and took her for a gentle drive around the neighborhood.Since then, no evidence of leaky brakes, everything seems fine.

Has anybody ever noticed any relationship between sustained cold weather and leaky seals?
