Hi guys. After selling my 93 mr2 and 2000 mr2 spyder, I now own a very clean 01 integra gs-r. Love it so far but already got a problem.

My brakes stopped working yesterday. Here's what I know about the problem.

1. Almost all brake fluid was gone, but no obvious signs of where it went.
2. Brake pedal has no resistance and freely goes to the floor when pressed.
3. Brake pedal builds up pressure if you quickly press it repeatedly, but loses all of the built up pressure within 5-8 seconds.
4. Car seems to be favoring the front right wheel in terms of stopping power being applied.

I've filled the brake fluid reservoir back up and it doesn't seem to be leaking out, even with repeated pedal presses.

Is this a common problem or something potentially easily diagnosed? Car goes into my shop tomorrow. Ideally I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Thanks for reading and any input you guys can provide.

brake cylinder is most likely toast.......

heck check each brake nipple to see if it was tightened down properly

 

either that or the brake fluid resovoir is leaking. if it was you would noticably see it in the engine bay.

 

I'd trace each brake line as well to make sure that none are cracked or broke. Co'worker just t-boned a guy when her brake line just popped off.

 

WOW. What make and model? Maybe previewest owner???


Oh yeah. Your brake master cylinder is failing.

 

I'd say you have a break line that's leaking somewhere. Check your hardlines under the car as well. If that doesn't work test the Master cylinder.

 

Look closer. It won't just disappear.

Like someone else mentioned, follow all the brake lines and look for signs of leaking fluid.

 

Wasn't a honda thankfully. PT Cruiser. Was just using it as an example lol

 

had to replace master in both my tegs you pbly need one as well.
