The brake fluid might be in the brake booster. They like to eat it when the
seals are gone.

Betreff: [Healeys] Empty Brake/Clutch Reservoir

Iâ??ve looked through the archives and canâ??t find anything quite like this.
I see where fluid escapes from the brake side of the reservoir or the clutch
side; but not both.
I drove my BJ8 to Gettysburg from FL this summer without incidence of brake
issues. The brakes were strong and responsive. Since then I have driven it
very little (itâ??s HOT in FL in July, August and September). I took the car
to a local car show a week or two ago and everything was fine. I got in the
car last night and the brake petal went down and inch or so before engaging
with a strong petal. I looked at the fluid level and both the brake side and
clutch side were virtually empty. I noticed that the reservoir cap was not
seated correctly, which is odd and the cap on the radiator was also loose,
odder yet. There is no sign of spillage in the engine bay nor on the floor.
Can a loose reservoir cap cause most all of the fluid to escape from both the
brake side as well as the clutch?
