Alphard Brake Hose Oil Leak – A Commonly Missed Issue

alp_specialist

Another Toyota Alphard came in with a simple complaint:

• “The brake pedal feels softer than before.”
  

No warning lights.
No obvious brake failure.

But after inspection, the issue was clear —
the brake hose had started to seep brake fluid due to aging.

Why This Happens

On higher-mileage Alphard / Vellfire, brake hoses naturally age over time.

Common signs include:

• Brake pedal feeling softer than usual
• Slow brake fluid drop
• Oil marks near the wheel area
• No visible problem unless inspected closely
  
  

Because the leak is gradual, many drivers don’t notice it early.

What Was Done

• Replaced the aged brake hose
• Proper brake fluid bleeding
• Brake pedal feel returned to stable and consistent condition
  
  

Early inspection helps avoid bigger inconvenience later.

✅ Advice for Alphard Owners

If you notice:

• Brake pedal feels different
• Small oil marks near tyres
• Brake fluid level dropping faster
  
  

It’s a good idea to have the brake system checked early.
