It could be one of the hydraulic component or it may be just rusted out brake lines. Either way, it needs to be inspected thoroughly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. diggafr New User Sep 22, 2011, 5:19 PM Post #3 of 5 (1332 views) Re: breaks on a car that sat for a few years Sign In i didnt see anything leak out after i put fluid in it but ill check the ground tomorrow after it sits over night and see if and where its coming from Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 22, 2011, 5:24 PM Post #4 of 5 (1328 views) Re: breaks on a car that sat for a few years Sign In You won't likely find anything on the ground. This is a small quantity and probably quite slow. You need to have to car inspected thoroughly, including pulling all the wheels and dust caps on the wheel cylinders. They will also look for stains at the back of the master cylinder. There is no question that you have a leak. It just has to be found. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. diggafr New User Sep 22, 2011, 6:05 PM Post #5 of 5 (1317 views) Re: breaks on a car that sat for a few years Sign In ok thanks.. i just wanted someone elses input but my step father is gonna be helping me tomorrow her just didnt have the time today but he was a jet mechanic for a long time in the navy so he knows how to do all of this stuff   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
