Mushy brakes. Brake pushrod leaking brakefluid

[LouisP]

Good day all,

I have a 2014 Fiesta ST 180,

I have been encountering an issue after multiple attempts to bleed the brakes. I just wish to help fellow users encountering an mushy pedal and this might be an issue you also have.

After a lot of headaches and dodgy drives I've decided to just take a look at the brake pedal and the connecting pushrod. I have discovered that its leaking inside the rubber boot. I believe this to be the issue in my case.

I will be updating you after I have booked the car in with brake and clutch specialists; however, I'm interested to know if anyone has encountered this problem before.

After getting the car back from the workshop, it seems that the issue was the master brake cylinder. Problem is now resolved. After some sleepless nights, now I can finally get some rest.

How many miles/km are on this car, and was that the first bleed/flush you've attempted to do since new??

I got the car with about 134 000 kms (about 83 200 miles). I don't see antything stated in the service book.
