If that is the case, stopping the leak and bleeding the front brakes is likely all you need to do. (Bleeding the brakes would include the lesser offense of adding brake fluid.)



My recommendation would be to remove the line fitting from the MC, clean the sealing surfaces and reinstall. A series of tighten/loosen slightly/tighten attempts will often result in a good seal.
Thank you so very much!

Uggg, guess I should have gone back to bed...

Rear fluid reservoir and rear brake line.

I loath bleeding brakes...

The closest place is four miles. Would that be safe?
