I went to move my 1980 450SL R107 and had almost no brakes. checked the fluid and noticed it was way low, then I noticed on the floor in the garage where she was parked there was a puddle on the inside of the front left wheel.

I suppose it could be many things but I'm thinking maybe a caliper. Its only been sitting for about 4-5 weeks and brakes never leaked before.

Any ideas?

Weird, after topping it off its no longer leaking anywhere. Time to get dirty.

And did your pedal suddenly become hard??

Yes, once I topped it off and pumped up the petal again it seemed fine but I'm going to go through it next weekend and make a list of everything that needs refreshing. Its parked for the winter so good time to do it.

Cheers!
