<p>A vehicle brake leakage detector (10) installs between a vehicle brake pedal and a reference point (18) such as a steering wheel, for testing vehicle hydraulic brake systems, and, specifically, for detecting brake fluid leaks. A brake contact (12) at one end of the detector contacts the vehicle brake pedal and a reference end (18) at the opposite end of the detector contacts any tangible reference location, such as a steering wheel. Force means such as such as springs (42, 44) are associated with the detector is installed. A sensor (26) monitors for and detects any relative movement between the brake contact (12) and reference end (18) to determine whether any brake fluid leaks are present. An output source (28) indicates whether any brake fluid leaks are detected.</p> |
