Default somthins wrong with my brakes!!

hey guys,
just did my brakes a couple weeks ago, rotors and pads. now for some strange reason my petal goes to the floor sometimes. the cylinder has plenty of fluid. i did notice that the passenger side caliper looked a bit messy when i swaped out the pads. if my lines have a leak then why is the cylinder still full? could i have air in the line? any help would be great. thanks.

you probably have some air in there... bleed the brakes again and make sure you didn't screw it up. just so you know when my MC went i would have pedal to the floor... you may need a new MC.

Sounds like maybe the M/C is going down the toilet.

Also, make sure you fix the leaks if you have any, get new brake lines.

similar thing happened to me a while ago. i could press the pedal all the way to the floor...matter of fact, i had to do that just to stop! it was my master cylinder, but try bleeding the brake system first, then try the master cylinder.
