so when i press the brake once, it goes down about a inch or two before it actually begins to stop the car, however if i tap the brake twice quickly, the brake regains pressure right where it should. I also noticed a decent amount of fading coming from the brakes as well.





Jio said it most likely holes in the brake lines, but I don't believe that is the only issue, or if that is causing it at all. under the master cyl, there was fluid dripping but it looks to be from a while ago. whats weird is, I don't lose any fluid. Any ideas ?

sounds like air in your brake lines. Bleed them.

i agree, it IS air in the system. If you had a hole in a line... you could go stand on the pedal for a minute and it would gradually go all the way down to the floor... and leave a nice puddle somewhere.

you misunderstood.. its air in your lines...

holes in a pressure system will cause visible leaks...

sorry bro, i misunderstood because you told me to buy stainless lines I thought you said that because my lines have holes in them

you sure it's not your master cylinder leaking internally?

i had this issue when my master cylinder pooped.

when the MC on my jeep went... it went pretty much instantly.. no bleed down, no leakage.. just pop... no more brakes.
