brakes Sign In

Hi I have a quick question. I have a 2002 Ford Taurus and I just had my brake pads and rotors replaced. I drove home and the brakes work great I pull in my driveway and walk in the house for about 5 minutes and when I go back outside I noticed a fluid under my car on the right side by the front tire. It is ALOT of fluid. So I get in the car and check the break pedal and it is still pretty hard so I go back out and it is still dripping whatever break fluid was left out on to the driveway. What happened?? I am trying to call the shop, but he is not answering the phone I cannot drive it back out there can I? There was so much fluid I thought it was my radiator. He is 22 miles away from my home. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Is the brake master cylinder empty? If not, the fluid is something else. If master cylinder is empty, either a bleeder was left open, ruptured a piston seal, or broke a rubber hose going to the caliper. If it is out of fluid, I would not drive it back there.



Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
