So ive been having problems with the brake fluid slowly reducing (noticed by loss of pedal pressure after approx a week after refilling).
The mini is a daily driver and I have struggled to find the cause of the leak due to damp weather and short days. Had a good look around and noticed a big damp patch under the drivers side front wheel. After tracing the leak I found a slow drip from the end of the brake pressure reducing valve. Have looked around the valves four pipe connections and all appears dry (well no sign of fluid running down to that point anyway).
Just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem before and what may have caused it. Is it just a case of replacing the valve?
Can see the dripping in the pic below
