Oil brake leak
So, I have a BMX that has oil brakes, I have 2 levers that goes only to my front brake.
Today when I pressed my lever (main one), it started leaking oil & lever went very soft (like before when it was ok I just had to press it a little to block), it leaks on the main lever, whenever I press main or additional brake. It leaks when I press brake lever (any).
It leaks at the point where the "wire" attaches to hebel. I have no idea about the oil brakes, didn't try to adjust anything, just please give me advice what should I do? I don't want to go to my local mechanic who'll probably f*ck up (just like last 3 times to my friend's bike) & pay for it.

Read the service manual yet? ?
Check with Magura directly , in Germany, . they have a distributor in your country {web search that yourself too)
new hose and the sealing "Olive" rings and the bleed and refill kits are available ..
Ive done hose replacements to put my bars up higher,, its not hard to do ..
