<br>
It could be the fittings at the bottom of the reservoir tank, which is located near the front left.<br>

<div dir="auto">I drove my BN4 today after a five month rest I drove to our local ABFM. On my way back I noticed that the brake pedal felt harder and the front disc brakes had a longer stopping distance. Before I pulled it into the garage I noticed brake fluid
on the driveway pan, so I checked the reservoir. It was 3/4 empty. The bottom of the tank was dry. Any ideas on where I should look? The leak is towards the front left. Could it be a leaking caliper?</div>
