Description of the problem | When coming to a stoplight, i apply the brakes and the pedal goes down more than it should, but i get stopped. While holding the brake and waiting for the light to change the brake pedal goes slowly to the floor. Next, i pull into a parking lot and get stopped. I put the truck in park an look under the hood at the brake master cylinder, no fluid leaks, then i c look at each wheel, no fluid leaks. I get turned around and head home because i know something is wrong. Driving home the brake pedal is soft. I'm soon home and i park the truck but with the motor still running, i slowly depress the brake pedal, it goes slowly to the floor, next time i depress the brake pedal it goes to the floor in a split second. I get out and inspect under the truck. I see brake fluid leaking from the lines running down the frame right under the drivers door. |
