So I ran my brake fluid reservoir dry and I'm guessing I introduced air into the brake lines because now the pedal goes to the floor and there is no more braking. (Fortunately, this was discovered in the driveway.)
Could there be another reason why the pedal goes to the floor? (The reservoir is indeed empty.)
I've never experienced a brake fluid leak before. I did not notice any stains on the driveway indicating a fluid leak of any kind, which threw me off the scent of a brake fluid leak in the first place (I thought it was just the pads wearing down).
I was planning to flush the brake fluid soon anyways (at winter tire swap-over time next week), which was why I ignored the brake warning light (indicating a low fluid condition). Unfortunately, the leak ran faster than I thought.
Anyhow, is there anything special I have to do now, now the lines are perhaps full of air?
