Got a slight weep if brake fluid on my Corsa B and I'm looking to see how involved a job it's going to be. It's leaking slightly from an aluminium block connector behind the coolant header tank, where one of the brake pipes goes into it. It's the one on top left as you stand facing it.

Try nipping the connector up. You'll need an 11mm spanner.

If that fails, try a new pipe with connector.

Worst case, new ally block but i doubt that.

Thanks for that, I tried nipping it up but wouldn't budge. Going to book it into my local garage and have them make a new pipe for it.
