Default Front Brake

I hope somebody can help me here, but I have no front brake. My brother is home for X-mas and I let him take my toy out and it had a little too much power for him and her rolled it over on it's right side. There is no resistance when I pull in the front brake and when I looked @ it I could see brake fluid leaking out.

Any body have any ideas on what I should be looking for to fix this...Thanks a bunch!!!

Where is the brake leaking from? If nothing is broke and it leaked from the top cover all you will need is to bleed the brakes.

It looked like it was leaking from the break line, by a bolt. How do you go about bleeding the brake line???

Thank you very much!!!

First, make sure the bolt that it's leaking from is tight. These bolts are hollow with two sealing washers (above and below the "banjo" fitting).

If it still leaks, check to see if its the rubber line that's leaking (if so replace)

To bleed the brakes, apply pressure to the handle and open the "bleeder valve" on the caliper.
Close the valve before the handle reaches the grip to avoid re-entry of air into the system.

it's very simple (same as car brake bleeding).

Look on the web for brake bleeding pictures to get the general idea.
