Lost my brakes on the way home!!!

[SlantnoseSD]

I was driving home and went to hit the brakes and the pedal went to the floor. The car slowed down but there is no way I cold have locked up the brakes. Luckily no one in front of me so I just crawled home after that.

I checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was empty. I looked under the car and did not see any fluid. I filled the reservoir and pumped the brakes and they seemed to come back. I dont think I got any air in the lines. I then looked under the car and saw one drop of fluid on the ground by the drivers side rear tire. Could this be a leak in the fluid?

Did you check your bleeders to see if they are tight? If not, you may need to replace your lines.

I plan on checking the bleeders tomorrow. Is it possible to strip them?

[WPOZZZ]

I've snapped the nipple when I wasn't using the proper tool, but I have never stripped them. It's only 9pm your time. Just jack the car up and remove the wheel.

Yes, sounds like you have a leak. Did you see the big red warning light that should have come on your dashboard? Is it burned out? It's usually the same as the e-brake lamp...
