Q: Brake fluid leaking after changing brakes
I was changing breaks as i've done before, and after I put the wheel back on, i was pumping the break and break fluid started pouring out, i think I might have took off an extra bolt than i needed to. The bolt that connects the break line to the breaks themselves. I put it back on but the brake fluid still poured, i have left it alone now. HELP
