My brake petal goes all the way to the floor very little stoping power. i have a 03 ford taurus.

Question

i think it is the rear seal in the back on the passanger side. there is fluid on the ground. what do you think it is. sumthing simple or sumthing hard. PLEASE HELP.

Answer 1

is there fluid running down the tire? then its a wheel seal. Or is ir a puddle at rear of car? then its a leaking brake line. Both are fairly easy fixes if you have some mechanical experience and cheap. but it sounds like you might want to go to a mechanic.

Answer 2

could be a broken brake line, leaky caliper, or a bad master cylinder. depends on what area the leak is coming from.

Answer 3

probably a wheel cylinder leaking.

Answer 4

well if your sure thats brake fluid on the ground in the rear passenger area,then you probably have a bad brake cylinder.If thats all it is.Its a simple fix.Cheap job 50-70 bux max paying someone to do it.More info here may help me give a better answer.Is there fluid all over the tire and rim?

Answer 5

its pretty obvious that you have a fluid leak. check all hoses and try to find the source of the leak and replace that. then put new fluid in there and bleed the brakes. youre set.
