Re: Almost a disaster, a reminder,...and a question
drum brakes unlike disk brakes, the fluid will be forced back into the master cyl by the return springs on the shoes, and it will stay full unless there is a leak some where in the system, and it looks like there is a leak, pull wheels and drums look for leaking wheel cylinders, brake lines and be sure to check all metal brake lines, look for wet spots on them, the clamps holding them, and on the frame, a ittle more info on disk brakes, the master cylinder on disks will get low because the calipers dont have any way to pull the brake pucks away from the disk, so all the fluid pushed into the calipers stays there as the pads wear
