    If wheel cylinder is ok and there are no external brake fluid leaks the front brake pads must be worn down. If axle seal is leaking check axle breather. With breather removed check to make sure the threaded hole is clear. I have seen them rust over from the inside. Whatever you do on one side, do on the other as well.

    its a Toyota truck and that's all the modifications needed
    check the rear diff for fluid, if you stick your pinky in the fill hole and theres no sign of fluid its an axle leak,if the MC cylinder resovoir is empty then its a brake cylinder leak

    I was trying to figuere out why my new Raybestos wheel cylinder was leaking, after I just replaced it.

    I just assumed it was the wheel cylinder...

    Thank you!
