Default Brake fluid leak from centre of car at front.

Hi guys,

Fitted new discs and pads on a 2000 S8. Did one side at a time, pressing brake pedal to set the pistons on one side before starting the other. Then brake pedal felt fine.

Today I moved the car out of the garage since doing the brakes and parked on the driveway. I noticed on the floor, in the middle, around where the bulkhead would've been, was a pool of fluid. I thought I this was hydraulic fluid to start with. But it's actually brake fluid.

I went to start the car and pressed the brake pedal and it slowly sinks to the floor. And other pool of fluid under the car.

The brakes are very weak on the car. Only just stop the car when it's moved on idle in D.

Calipers are fine, flexi pipes are fine.

I need to get the front in the air again and check but has anyone experienced a brake fluid leak like this?

Cheers.

Dan
