brake pedal drop usual suspects
i have been driving the beast again for about a week. i started smelling something like tranny or brake fluid a couple days ago when pulling away from a stop light, maybe burning smell maybe not, smelled more like raw fluid. today on the way home my pedal suddenly went to the floor. I limped home pumping the pedal figuring a busted line. I parked and let it cool off. Then I popped the hood and still plenty of fluid, I started it and held the brakes as hard as I could, after a minute or two it would settle to the floor. I was pushing very hard. I inspected around the calipers and master cylinder and I cant find any fluid. Is there something Im missing? Is there a usual suspect? could it be leaking into the vacuum system or something? I know these dont pull the vacuum into the engine and burn it. waas up.......
