300 SEL 1990 Brake fluid rear chamber will not fill

[tbuzziinspain]

Hello all any ideas please...

For some reason the rear chamber of the brake fluid reservoir is not filling, I have tested the lines and it is definatelu some kind of problem with the reservoir .
ANy tips, ideas MOST welcome !!

Overfill the front reservoir and allow the fluid to 'creep' over the barrier in between them. Then syphon some out to bring the front one down to the max mark. Or, is the problem that fluid is leaking from the section of the brake system which is fed by the rear part of the reservoir???

Try jacking up the front of the car.

Are you using rear chamber fluid,,,if not it will only fill the front up.....

I'm assuming by the lack of a reply that the guy did in fact have a hydraulic leak in his brake system.....
