Brakes

On my 85 ford, i noticed the pedal getting sloshy, so i check the fluid only to find it was really low. I checked the tires & on the front drivers there seems to be fluid leaking...is this because the master cylinder failed or do i have a leak in the line or somewhere else??

If it ain't broke.....change stuff till it is!



U might have a broken line, or a leaky caliper. Check the lines and look for the source of the leak.
