Brake/clutch softness problems...

[broke30]

Well as some of you may know I had problems with my brakes locking up and dragging when I first got my car, so I replaced all the calipers, mc, and brake booster with "remanufactured" parts. Anyways just today (randomly) the car sat for 1 hr and in that hour the brakes lost all pressure, I had to push to pedal to the floor to make it work.... Also lately my clutch pedal sticks to the floor and I have to grab it and pull it back up to work. Well sure enough, I had no more brake fluid at all in the reservoir. Anyways there was some fluid underneath the master cylinder, could it have a leak in it already? Its only been 2months at the most since it was replaced..... Thanks in advance

You have a leak somewhere. It could be the master cylinder, a line, or the reservoir.

I'm leaning towards a line, I checked my almost new master and its fine, did a check on the reservoir and thats fine too. I am completely removing my abs now (running new hardlines) and also replacing all of my rubber ones in the process, hopefully this will clear some things up....

Probably the lines. I had a similar problem and one of the rear lines was toast.

how lines can be toast ? are you talking about rubber lines ?

EDIT:

i heard some bad things about s/s brake lines (that replace rubber ones), like stuff that they die within few years, and they do not provide much better response than brand new rubber ones...

my brake pedal is a it spongy too. I'm looking into upgrading to 25mm brake master..
