[Spridgets] '75 Midget brake question.

[dlancer7676 at comcast.net]

If the brake fluid is only half full on both sides you obviously have a leak
at the master.B  If a wheel cylinder were leaking only one side would be
leaking.B  There has to be a sign of a leak somewhere 'cause brake fluid just
doesn't go away.B  See if the fluid has leaked and puddled somewhere in the
body, like above the wheel well.

Subject: [Spridgets] '75 Midget brake question.

The car has been parked outside all winter (covered)
Brakes were working fine when parked just before winter set in.
This weekend, getting ready for spring, I discovered the brake pedal goes all
the way to the floor.
The reservoir is 1/2 full (both sides)
No signs of leaking brake fluid anywhere.
The red Brake warning light is lit.

Any suggestions welcomed.
Also input on how to reset the "shuttle" in the brake cicuit

Thanks
