For about the past 8 months my brake light has been coming on. I have added 2 bottles of brake fluid in that time. When I come to a stop now the brake pedal is lower to the ground(but I still have enough clearance to fit the tip of my shoe under it). The brakes almost feel as if I am driving a car from the 80's, almost like drum brakes.
I had the brake lines replaced 3 years ago due to rust and also had the rear brakes/rotors replaced at that time as well.
The first bottle of brake fluid I added was prestone dot 3 synthetic brake fluid from Autozone and the second bottle I added was centeck(walmart brand I suppose) dot 3 brake fluid from Walmart.
I have looked closely for any leaks but cannot find anything leaking? The master cyclinder and booster all appear to be dry. Is it possible there is an internal leak in the master cyclinder and leaking into the booster? Where is the brake fluid going? Could the walmart brand of brake fluid cause the pedal to travel lower to the ground?
