Over the summer I replaced the brake lines in my car with braided lines. This is the first time I've done something like this so it was certainly a learning experience. I was able to finish the job and the brakes were working great. It wasn't a huge improvement but they are better. Probably more from the new rotors and brake pads then lines. I put around 50 miles on the car and the brakes were working fine.
Life got in the way and I had to park the car for about 6 weeks. I finally went to drive it again yesterday and the brake pedal went to the floor. No brakes. I checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was about half full. I know I left it full when I parked it. I expected I had a leak but I could find no evidence of leaking brake fluid.
I filled up the reservoir and pumped the brakes but they never stiffened up. The pedal still just goes to the floor.
I'm thinking I may need to bleed the brakes again. I haven't had time to try that yet. Does anyone have any advice? Where did that brake fluid go?
