Brake fluid on rear wheel

Strange how it has started to leak while not in use, is the pipe still the original one? Might have become porous through age or possibly been mice nibbling it.

Since yesterday 10 am, when I washed the bike, no trace of leak. It has been well over 24 hours.    :eek


I pumped rear brake hard, to make it leak - none. All the hoses look good, no traces of leakage anywhere. But it was really dirty before yesterday - I wash it twice a year (motorcycle as well  [/size]   ) [size=1em] - autumn and spring - just to see if anything leaks[/size][size=1em]. Now after washing, I'll spot any traces of fluid leaking easily.


Is it possible that during winter, no use, low temp, something shrunk a bit, but after it has been used, the seal (fluid + rubber) started working again?  Will check it tonight, under flash light as Darrsi advised and see if anything shows. In autumn, after the riding season I plan to change rubber seals just in case. Non OEM ones can be sourced locally for around 10 euros - to little to worry about it.
