Hey guys. So this 1st gen has always had brake issues since I've known it, the drums and front brakes have been replaced once before. Although the rotors are warped again, it used to haul pretty heavy. Regardless of that, the breaks seem to always bleed off. I replaced the master cylinder, reservoir, bled the brakes and put new fluid in last December because how much they bled off. I would have to push the brake pedal all the way to the floor to think about stopping. Good thing its a manual. They worked perfectly for a few months, up until just a few weeks ago. They seem to be bleeding off again! Stumped on what the problem could be. Thanks OldB90.JPEGNewB90.jpegGolfCourse90.jpeg

Is the fluid topped up?

The last time my pedal went to the floor, it's because the small reservoir (rear brakes) was empty. I'm pretty sure it leaks out the back of the MC somehow.
