Moisture around the brake lines

[mburshtain]

Hi Guys,
I recently performed a major service on my Delorean and while the car was lifted I noticed some moisture around the brake lines.
I'm not 100% sure what is the source of it...
Note that while the car is parked I can see some break fluid around the inner wheel.

Any advice on how to identify the source of the leak would be appreciated.

Clean/blow it off well and have a helper apply the brakes while watching closely... Assuming you've tried that already w/o any luck, hit the area with baby powders and watch for first sign...

Thank you Ron, I will try the baby powder method.

It would appear from the photo to be coming from the brake line at the connector fitting. Is that line brand new? If so it is probably defective. Clean off fluid with "brakleen" and towels and then apply the talcum powder. Go for a short road test and then reinspect.

Thank you Rob,
This is what I suspected... I replaced the brake lines 3 years ago but as you said it could be defective. I'll clean it and reinspect... stay tuned.
