[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1376504, member: 19880"] BS, as far as I am concerned! Rear brake fluid always looks pretty good every time I exchange it (every two years). No sign that it has been "degraded" from exhaust heat. Just out of curiosity, were you bleeding the lower right front (linked) bleeder (with the rear brake pedal) when you were servicing/purging your brakes? Whether or not his theory about degraded brake fluid made sense, he was at least able to get the issue sorted out for you. Note that the DOT 4 brake fluid is MUCH more heat resistant than the plastic fluid reservoir, rubber brake hoses and slave cylinder parts. Elevated ambient temperature from exhaust is slight compared to heat generated in the caliper under heavy braking. [/QUOTE]
