I've been having brake problems. Here are the symptoms. Flush the
system and everything seems fine. Leave the car a few days and the
fluid is real low and the pedal has gotten real soft. Top up the fluid
and drive around. Pedal is soft, but stops the car. Fluid stays where
it is. Let the car sit for 8 hours and the fluid is back down again.
There is no sign of any fluid leaking out (or at least not hitting the
ground). My local station, which is usually pretty good, first
suggested that the problem was that I needed new rotors. OK, so I
bought those. But now they say I need new calipers. Is this a likely
cause or are they just switching parts? If I do need new calipers how
hard are they to rebuild? Do most folks use rebuild kits or buy rebuilt
units? Many thanks in advance for any advice.
