    Brake Fluid Molded out?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Alright so when I got the car (February 08) I noticed in the brake fluid that the mesh at the top has some green goo, but didnt really care. Last weekend I topped it off with DOT4 because I noticed it was low. Today driving back from work I was racing an S4 cabriolet (amazingly I won... Thts cuz the old man didn't really even try ) but when I got home I decided to check the fluids of my car just for the hell of it. When I popped the hood I noticed the brake fluid leaked and was driping off the sides of the lid. I took some paper towles and cleaned it up... When I opened the lid I noticed my brake fluid was GREEN and I decided to take some paper towel and soak out some of this green. When I came back to the mesh the towel picked up some lumps of green goo! Take a look! What do you think I should do??? The car drives fine...

    Mine does the same thing! Leaks all over when I add fluid. I want to replace or clean the filter looking thing on top but can't seem to get it out of there.
    Anyway, your fluid looks nasty and needs a flush.
