I got around to paying attention to My GMC for the first time in about 10 months. After doing some cleanup and replacing some filters the coach started right up. When I went to move it I had virtually no brakes. It had brakes when I parked it last fall. I took a look at the Master Cylinder and the front reservoir was empty. I toped it off pumped the brakes and drove up and down the driveway a few times and the brakes returned to normal as far as I can tell. I then took it for a few mile ride to get gas. I could not find a leak at the lines, but I did not pull the wheels off. All the rubber lines are fairly new, the metal lines are original. I have 80mm front calipers stock rear breaks.
My question is it this something I should be worried about? I have no idea why the fluid would leak down just sitting there, but I guess its possible they leaked down slowly during use and I never noticed it. I don't believe I ever topped off the fluid after replacing the brake parts and getting the coach road worthy a few years ago. Thanks for your input!
