Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Brake Question

I already posted this in Brakes,

But I was wondering last month my brake fluid ligt came on and I added some fluid it was at the min level. The brake light came on again checked and it was at the min level again. I checked around the master cylinder and dont see any leakes any idea were all my fluid is going?

Does the clutch still feel ok?,part of the same system (res),can have a leak on the master cyl end seal which goes ito the booster.If neither I'd check all the lines and hoses.

No clutch ATX

If it is leaking that fast you need to find the leak ASAP. Start with the calipers and wheel cylinders, then check all the lines and hoses. It should not be hard to find with that much of a loss. Brakes are a safety issue so don't wait.

just went out and checked from what I added last night and it all was there.

Well it appears that my rotors were not really warped after all. Simply the wheels were improperly torqued. What I did not say the first post is that the pads and rotors were operational for about 1 month and were vibrating from about 65mph but much worse after the spring shields recall. Today it stops vibration free after a followup retorque of the lug nuts. There maybe many, many unnecessary rotor replacements out there due to improper wheel nut torque!
