My brake pedal goes to the floor and the brakes don't work at all. The first time I checked the brake fluid it was normal.2 days later the fluid was empty. What do insertion check and or fix on my brake system? What could be wrong?

LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A LEAK ON A LINE / HOSE/ BRAKE COMPONENT

LOOK FOR FRESH BRAKE FLUID. UNDER THE HOOD OR ON THE INSIDES OF YOUR TIRES (UNDER YOUR CAR)

THEN IF IT'S NOT OBVIOUS. ADD SOME FLUID, HAVE YOUR PAL PUMP THE BRAKES WHILE YOU LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER. SAFETY GLASSES MAY BE IN ORDER, BRAKE JUICE UNDER PRESSURE, IN THE EYEBALL JUST AIN'T A GOOD THING!

YES. IT PROBABLY WOULD BE A "STUPID THING" TO DRIVE THAT PUPPY WITH NO BRAKES!

. ONE OF THOSE, GOTTA AT LEAST SAY IT THINGS!
