I was driving around yesterday, getting food and crap, and I stop at this red light. For some strange reason I feel the urge to test the brake pedal by pressing it moderately hard. I push down till it pretty much stops, then I hear a loud, high pitched psssssst, and the brake goes to the floor :aigo:. I pull into the parking lot and the brake are completely gone, except at the floor, and the brake fluid is almost empty. I fill it up to find out that its leaking from the line up by the fuel tank.

YAY! I mean, I almost went 2 weeks without something going wrong. But in all reality it is my fault. :3d_frown: I have been going around fixing little stuff like the dome light and passenger window controls. My car has a quota for how many things cannot be working. If you fix stuff past that number, new things break.

Now, anybody know where I can find a diagram for the brake lines and where I can buy them from. Should I just buy straight metal ones and bend them to fit. I aslo have a parts car back in CT with the lines, but I would have to go a while without a car before I can go get them.

Thanks for the help.

i bet ur glad it happened when you wanted to test the brakes not when you had to jam on the brakes.
