      You could also have a break in the lines.
      Get a friend to help you check for leaks in the brake lines outside.

        You should be able to do it in an afternoon. Get a brake line wrench if you don't already have one.

          before you go replacing parts, look for the leak. make sure you don't just throw parts at your car trying to fix something that could be a very simple problem.
