ATF in your brakes?

[infinity5]

What do you guys think of this??

"my old boss told me to put a shotglass worth of tranny fluid in my brake fluid to stop leaks"

"says it will make the rubber seals expand"

Interesting. I wqas under the impression brake fluid wasn't petrolem based and was a lot more like antifreeze than it was an oil. *shrug*

how bout fixing the problem?! you don't really want to screw with the thing that keeps you from becomming a projectile? without bleeding how is the atf supposed to get down to the leak anyway and if it's leaking that bad.....

ps it will probably turn the grommits on the resevior to jello the same way dot 3 brake fluid does

[pundit]

Hmmm... I sometimes get a creaky left knee joint in cold weather.
Might try drinking half a pint of Mobil 1 to see if the creak goes away! :D

Better ask him again. You're suppose to use a shot glass of BRAKE FLUID in the tranny or power steering to swell seals and stop leaks. I can vouch for this trick working in a PS system in a 1964 Buick.
