Default Brake Issues 94 Del Sol Si

About 3 months ago I changed the front rotors and pads on my 94 Del Sol Si. Lately the brakes intermittently function correctly. Sometimes they go all the way to the floor! I noticed some brake fluid on the inner part of my front left wheel. What do you guys think is going on?

So are you just watch the brake fluid leaking? For 3 months? I guess you like taking chances with your life and the life of other people on the road to risk a brake failure on the road.
Have you looked to see where the leak is coming from exactly?

No way man. I just noticed it yesterday. I didn't realize it could cause such a problem. The brakes still work even when pressed to the floor. It just doesn't feel quite right. i'm gonna pull the front wheel off and investigate today.

Did you damage the boot pushing the piston back into the caliper?

Anytime you have fluid leaking and your brakes go to the floor its an unsafe condition and you need to stop driving the car immediately and fix it.

Could be the booster or a vacuum related problem too. Is the brake fluid reservoir low?
