I recently replaced the entire brake system on my coach. Master all the way to the wheel cylinders and everything in between.
It has been probably a month or more since that was all done. No leaks anywhere, Good brakes, etc.
Today I notice a small puddle of brake fluid under the driver front wheel. Tracing it back its coming from the metering valve of the combination valve. Not any of the lines, but the metering valve that has the black rubber cap on it. The combination valve was ALSO replaced with the correct part from a supporting vendor.
Any ideas as to why it would start leaking now? The only real difference is I have driven the coach a few times, maybe 20 miles or so. No issue with the brakes, checked the fluid afterward and no issues. It has sat where it is now since Saturday.
I was able to tighten that metering valve just a bit, not too much at all, but it still has fluid seeping from the threads.
What would you all suggest to remedy this? And thank you very much.
