Ok Guys I Have A Real Problem Here.


I just acquired a 91 Accord 2 Dr. F22A

I got this vehicle from my uncle,that being said who knows what the hell is wrong with it or even if its stolen (jk).

Ok so back to the brakes. I fill them up with brake fluid and no sooner than a good 2 hours of highway driving or 45 minutes of city driving the fluid is all gone. But when you apply the brakes the pedal gets very stiff. Almost like if the car isn't running and you pump the brakes. You know how the pressure builds up and gets stiff? Well like that. So it is very dangerous to drive. And harder than dick to stop. Haha.

And I think I found the leak,I believe its at the rubber hose that connects the brake line to the caliper. It was very wet and had signs of fluid dripping on the ground. (Will be fixed in the next couple of days).

Also i think the reason for the brakes being so stiff is maybe the brake booster vacuum line isn't working to reduce the pressure.


Any suggestions or thoughts?

 

You have a Brake Master Cylinder that has been (and continues to) leaking into the Power Brake Booster to which it is mounted. I suspect that the brake fluid has damaged (perforated) the diaphram to which the engine's vacuum applys to generate assist. Loss of vacuum, no power assist.

If I'm correct, replacement of both will be required
