My abs light has been on forever and no issues...

I drove to the store and home let it set for about 4 hours go back outside and my brakes will barely stop the car (94 integra with 4 corner disc brakes) so I check the fluid and it was down past the min line so I filled it back up and they are a tad better, but not where they was this morning.

Looked and felt brake lines no issues there calipers are depressing and compressing as should.

What the heck could be causing it? Surely not air in the lines?

 

Well if it went below the line you have a real leak somewhere and in which air could enter the system. Time to find that leak and bleed the brakes !

 

Son of a gun anyway I can make it leak and find it?

 

first visually inspect the lines(from ABS motor also) brake clean will be your friend here, if nothing fill up the master cylinder and have someone pump the brakes just don't let it go empty. I've see them leak around the MC and booster and in the wheel wells(rust is worse there then most places).

 

Middle of lines between the wheels looks like metal lines are leaking there

 

wipe it down to confirm.

 

Its right there in that line

 

pics ?

 

Can't really get under waiting on a jack this might be waiting till Saturday cause of no light and well no tools anyway

 

These are about the best I can get

 

ohhh it's one of the main ones ****....yah that's a bad leak.

 

Is it metal like I think it is?

 

Yes that's going to be a metal hard line. You can buy a new line from honda which is $$$ or get a new hard line and a tool to bend and flares the lines. Or maybe hit up the u pull it's over there. They always had a lot of Hondas when I lived there.

 

None there now man Imma just cut it and patch it pretty much with a piece of metal line

 

You shouldn't "patch" brake line...EVER! Repair it properly so that you aren't putting yourself and others at danger by driving a car with sketchy brakes.

 

Ya I'm going to ot right

 

Is the lines under the car a 3/16?

 

How do ya get the plastic piece over the lines off?
