i have a 1985 accord lx 1.8 1829cc 3bbl. ok so i bought it for $100 it had sat for 2 years and i replaced the alternator due to it being siezed so when i was done i took it for a drive and the low brake fluid indicator light came on and i had just topped it off before i even cranked over the motor i was maybe 15-25 miles into the drive when it came on and i took a glance and i know there is no brake fluid coming from the calipers or drums because i replaced the RF caliper and the LF caliper was fine the drums are dry and the wheel cylinders were also dry. now i know that im thinking master or a pinhole in the lines any ideas? Also if i have to replace the master how do i adjust the push rod and any other things in the process alldata doesn't have instructions and i dont know if i have to replace the booster either

 

One place for an "invisible" brake fluid leak is past the piston-rod seals in the master. The fluid leaks into the vacuum booster, where a lot of fluid can hang out before leaking OUT.

Still, be sure to check & rule out brake lines under the car. Especially places where it would drip directly on the ground & not onto the car. It might be a small leak that only leaks under the pressure of applying the brakes.

 

yeah i brought it into the shop i work at today and i looked at the bottom of the booster and it is rotted bad and the power steering rack is toast so i am doing p/s rack, master, booster, and front pipe

thanks
