hi there,
I recently rebuilt the front brake calipers , installed new rubber hoses.
Bled and tested and a run of the car up the road, all was good.
2 weeks later and it was today..............as follows.
Today I started the car , pressed the brake pedal and my foot went to the floor..
opened the master brake reservoir and it was empty?
So topped it up, started the engine , pumped the pedal and a very slight pressure was evident, but nothing like a normal brake.
Q: where has the brake fluid gone?
the car is on hard concrete and looking underneath there is no evidence of any fluid on the ground!
this has never ever happened to me in all my years of owning old cars!
has the fluid ended up in the servo?
