  1. I'll check it out when I get home.. I'd just like to thank you guys for the help though, I really appreciate it
  2. I'll keep that in mind.. I went and checked them out, and while I was listening for any type of squirting, I noticed that 3 out of the 4 rotors were "clean". Where as my front passenger one was rusted as if it was sitting.. Would this mean that that's the brake line that went?
  3. Would that cause the brakes to work when they're on the floor? There's no pressure until they are fully pressed. Then I can get it to slow down, slowly
  4. It's a 1998 Legacy Outback wagon, and I'm located in CNY, LOTS of salt.. LOTS. Only reason why I said I'll start in the car is because if it's a possibility, I'd like to at least rule it out early. One more game of tetris, and I'll go outside, haha
  5. I didn't disconnect anything, just pulled the wheels off to go over everything quick. I'll get the car up on some jack stands and check everything out again. I'll probably start right at the reservoir and follow the brake lines back to be sure. That helps a lot, I wasn't 100% sure where they ran. But I'll do that when it warms up a little. It's so cold out!
  6. Alright, so, like I thought- The fluid level is extremely low (could barely see it). It has definitely dropped since I last checked a few days ago. I checked the rotors and pads a few days ago as well, and they look like they have plenty of life left on them
  7. I'll go right out and check. Thanks or the reply, it's appreciated =]
  8. What's up guys, Let me introduce myself first, since this is my first post. I'm not new to cars, but fairly new to working on Subarus. Money is EXTREMELY tight, hence why I'm double checking with you guys before I go blow money on useless parts, so I hope there's some knowledgable people on here I'm from New York (if salt has any play on it), and as I was driving home the other day I noticed my brake light was coming on as I slowed down, but went off as I stopped, in my 98 Legacy Outback. I decided to make a quick stop at McD's drive through, and I was on the brakes, they sunk to the floor. I can still slow down, but the pedal has to be pushed right to the floor, there's about 90% too much play.. I did a little research and thought it could possibly be the master cylinder, but like I said- I want to be sure before buying parts. I'm not exactly sure how to diagnose these ABS, so I was hoping for some info from you guys. (I'm a Honda guy, no ABS here! ) ps. I shouldn't have said "my car", it's my girlfriends car but I seem to drive it more than she does edit: So how exactly would I diagnose this? I don't see any leaks around the wheels, but I didn't look too hard since the weather was bad out
