There are a lot of us that have had leaking ZF emergency brakes. Some of us have learned to look underneath the coach for oil spots on the ground. Ford says the brake assembly is not repairable but All State Gear Has rebuilt units and parts. $4000 is a little pricey for a new ZF brake assembly installed. I suspect around $2000 is the current retail price and 2-3 hours labor to change it. There are some of us on this forum that have resealed their own E brake assembles.

some of us wish we could get the ZF assembly off of the transmission output shaft.... :(
My output shaft came out of the trans with the E-brake. Don't think mine was a leaker. I had checked it. Park on cement indoors. It's like the main nut holding it all together backed off.
Pulled the trans out in a church parking lot (we were coming home from a trip). $800 trans rebuild by a local guy, new output shaft and a few other pieces, a $75 used E-brake from Craigslist, and I was back in business.
It was one of my my luckier days. Like $3000 lucky!
