Ok, this car was completely restored so all components SHOULD have been
replaced or rebuilt in the last year or 2. Also, the wheels are disk
brakes. Where would one see a leak in the calipers?

After having avoided a near hit with the Healey this weekend, I discovered
that my brake reservoir was EMPTY! Thankfully I had the reaction to pull
the emergency brake and stop the car in time. By the time I got home I was
pumping air - I know, air is very compressible. When I pulled the car into
the garage, I topped up the reservoir and waited for an inspection. I then
spotted brake fluid running down the inside of my front left tire after it
sat for overnight. What do I need to look for as a potential leak source -
and should I inspect this leak while the system is under pressure? i.e.,
someone pumping the brake pedal while looking for the leak.

Olin
