Brakes
so i went to go drive my car today, after sitting over night. I back down the driveway and there is no brakes, so i drive back up and look... all of the fluid is gone, so i put more in to the appropriate level. I try pumping them a little and nothing, no fluid is being moved through. when it does brake the pedal goes all the way to the floor and the front left tire slips a little. any advice on what to do?

sounds like you could have a massive break in a line somewhere. got any body that wants you dead?
|
i was hoping not but its always possible. so i should trace the lines back and see where it is?
|
well since your obviously loosing fluid somewhere put some in the res and pump the brakes while parked on the street (unless you dont care if a bunch of brake fluid is on your garage floor). check out the area right above that spot. if you dont see any fluid after a while, it prolly pooling up somewhere on the chassis.

i cant tell because it was outside and it rained, so i wont be able to tell
|
i brought it inside and looked at it and pumped the brakes, and when i pump them i get pressure for about 20 seconds, might i just need to bleed the brake lines?
|
so i let it sit and was able to get pressure when i press the pedal, but the brakes are just not engaging, might it be somethign to do with the calipers?
