3000 miles back and January 2020 I did the usual brake job. Normal Textar pads. Rotors measure good and solid bleeding and PMB seating method. After that I had great brakes all the way up to now. With no warning pedal goes about 50% travel to the floor but still had weak braking. Found the reservoir empty to the bottom of the container. No sign of leaking fluid on the car, wheels, or garage floor. Filled it up and a short test drive brakes are back to normal. No loss of fluid.
Where did all the fluid go? If the master cylinder or a caliper started leaking wouldn’t there be evidence of fluid on the ground ? |

the pedal cluster base is like a little tray that will hold lots of fluid... plus the floor area is lower there that creates the pooling of fluids |
