I have a question about my friend's early BN4 brakes. About a year and a
half ago I went to use his car and found the brake master cylinder almost
empty. The car had been sitting for a while, but previous to that the
brakes
had worked fine. Filling the reservoir and pumping the brakes restored
the
brakes to what seemed normal operation. The car was parked in his garage
last fall. Today I went over to start the car a drive it for a bit, but
again found
the brake master cylinder empty. Filling the cylinder and pumping the
brakes
restored some of the braking function, but not all. I realize they
probably needed
to be bled, but my question is what could be the source of the
disappearance.
There did not appear to be any fluid on the carpet under the car (for
normal leaks
like oil). Any thoughts? TIA.
