For almost a year now I am faced with the fact that the brake fluid reservoir that sits on the master cylinder and that serves the rear brakes (and the clutch as it has two outlets) empties itself in the reservoir that sits on the slave cylinder. This reservoir serves the front brakes. Emptying happens when the car is parked, and then takes about a week. It also happens under braking, and it takes about a 50 km run to have its contents fully dumped.
This all started after I refurbished the rear brakecalipers, as these were leaking badly. After numerous bleeding attempts, which I think all were successful, I suspected the slave cylinder, as this is the only part I could imagine where a transfer of fluid between the two reservoirs could somehow take place. So I refurbished that one as well, to no avail unfortunately.
And now I am left stumped, having no idea how to cure this problem. I sincerely hope one of you may have a clue as I really wish to have my Rover back on the road again.
