Hello all,
First post here, been wrenching on my 240 for a while now but this break problem is a real curveball.
When driving the car, every time I press the breaks the break pressure seems to build until it gets to a point where the car barely crawls while my foot is off the breaks.
I used a laser thermo on each rotor and found my driver side rotor was the hottest after a fair drive around town. I also noticed when inspecting the caliper that one of the lines attached the break junction box had a drop of break fluid hanging from it and my break fluid revivor was low.
My question is which part of my breaks would you suspect is causing the issue? Usually when I read form posts about break pressure its that they are spongy when this type of leak is present but that isn't the case here.
My neighbor said it may be restriction in the soft line leading to the driver front wheel because I recently changed my master cylinder out for a new one.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
