How much would it cost to fix a brake leak?
I recently discovered that my brake fluid has been leaking and I’m not sure exactly what’s causing it but I know it can’t be good. I want to get it fixed as soon as possible but I’m worried about what the bill will look like. How much would it cost to fix a brake leak?

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having this issue but glad to hear that you’re prepared to have it fixed. There are typically four main causes of a brake fluid leak and the cost of repairs will depend largely on which of these is the cause. However, if you’re interested in a general estimation, you could be looking at a price tag between $150 and $750.
Depending on the cause of the leak, the price range will narrow. See the following ranges:
- A master cylinder leak will often cost around $450 to $550
- A brake line leak can run between $150 and $200
- A brake caliper leak can cost between $550 and $750
- A rear drum cylinder leak usually has a price tag between $150 and $200
These price estimations are based upon average parts and labor costs but will certainly vary depending on your local rates. The best way for you to get an accurate idea of what you could be spending is by bringing your car in to be examined by a professional.
