Severe fluid leak
Hello all,
I was on my way into work this morning and out of nowhere - once I pressed my brake pedal, it felt as if something came loose and the pedal went all the way to the floor. I see a heavy leak coming from between the rear wheels whenever I press on the pedal. No signs of anything wrong under the hood. Pressure seems to build up when I have the car off, as soon as I turn it on - loose again to the floor.
Do you think it could be the wheel cylinder? line?

Yes you have a brake line broken, of course you knew that....which means-do not drive until repaired, brakes are one of those things you need.
Recheck the fluid level in the brake master, top it off. Then you are going to have to find out where the leak is coming from. In the center of the rear, shounds like it is one of the metal lines....but I have no idea what year this car is so that is just a guess.....

Fak..my friend . what kind of bicycle are you driving ??
if you see a leak at back wheel i would not worry too much about under the hoot till i diagnose what is leaking at the back,,,,sounds like a brake hose ( line ) issue
raise the car and chk the brake lines ,,if ok,, does it have drums on the back ?? if so could be a bad wheel cylinder ,, if disks chk the calipers for leak
Oh ,,and DO NOT drive the car in this condition

Thank you everyone, yes it is a brake line. It's the right passenger rear. As luck would have it, my accord was built using one line straight through up until right before the wheel. It's a '95 LX, anyone know what size line i need to replace it?
