I left my car for about 3 days and the brakes went to floor until i drove around for awhile, the same thing happened when it was on a lift. Why does this happen?

And is anyone familiar with this leak?

Brake systems are supposed to be "closed".
Nothing in, nothing out, no change in response after sitting or activity.

Do you EVER need to "top up" the fluid resevior?

That would be a sign of trouble. Fluid level should follow pad wear.

Fast cars need good brakes. Get yours fixed!

It might be the master cylinder.

AgreeVVVV with himVVV-leak looks like gel from engine mount-not expensive

to the actual source (up higher?). The whitish/pink residue is clearly Pentosin coolant.

here are a few sign that the brake master cylinder is bad
1. When you press the brake pedal and it slowly go all the way to the floor
2. If you pump on the pedal and it stay a little and then go to the floor.


have the engine running when checking

Resevior level never moves, and I just changed the master cylinder. So what could it be?

DutchDoofus

Did you bleed the brakes in just the old fasion way, or did you bleed the ESP and ABS units also ?

OOOOya

Did you also "bench bleed" the master before installing?

chenishead

Is there any special way to bleed the abs like there is for the esp?
