Right when i finished my engine swap on my 92 civic dc sedan i drove the whole day. then my brakes started feeling really squashy. one street before i got home they dropped to the floor. so i parked it and checked the fluid it was all good but looked kinda like water or **** got into it. i dunno it just looks weird. and so i started it and drove home just pumping the brakes and they barely worked. then they started working on their own again. i said [freak] that i bought a new master cylender and prestone sythetic brake fluid cracked open all 4 bleed valves and pumped all the pissy looking fluid out and rebleed all the brakes and they were perfect for a month. now their getting aquashy again. i checked the fluid it looks new but with a haze of like brown stuff. somethings mixing with my brake fluid. what could this be?

and i seen normal burnt brake fluid but this looks like coka cola got poured into my fluid and it floats around the brake fluid so its swirls of regualr gold fluid and some brownish black stuff.

did you use dot5? you should only be using dot3. try flushing it a bit more. check the seals on the resivior too, water could be getting in it and contaminating which well also cause a soft pedal

TravisCadello

resivor is brand new and master cylender. and it was dot3 fully syntec prestone fluid. but yea it does look like water got in. but from where?

z6hatchboy

it could be at connections or anywhere in the brake system, brake fluid naturally absorbs water so it could be anywhere. look for leaks and see what you can find

TravisCadello

it has no leaks and hasn't lost any fluid. just something is mixing with it most likely water.

maybe i can take it to brake check and see what they tell me.
