Hey guys, I'm a big fan of the site. You've helped me numerous times, thanks for that. and now my new problem is: my brakes have been squeaking for a week now and i was driving home when i heard a pop noise when coming to a stop and then there was no brake pressure at all in the pedal. When i got home brake fluid was leaking from my left front disc/caliper. I'm just wondering what it could be and the fastest way to fix it. Thanks again

Hi
Well pulling wheel and looking would be good start but most likely pad worn out metal backing grinding away at rotor until caliper piston exploded from caliper ie. the POP and fluid on ground.
Take a look
Thanks for donate
