if it's his primary it won't leak it will fail to compress and leak into itself

Yup, like he said, you can have an internal leak and not lose any fluid, it just doesn't stay where it needs to be

it started doing this all of a sudden, the time before the last time i drove the car the breaks were fine. just happened the last time i drove it. the car never pulled to either direction when i applied the breaks the last time i drove it. you think if the wheel bearing was going bad the car would pull if the breaks were applied.

everytime ive seen a bad master on these cars they leak. right in between the booster and the master. im leaning towards a stuck slide. was just throwing out all possibilities wen i mentioned the bearing.

He said low pedal though. I think a stuck slide pin would provide normal pedal pressure but with less stopping power.

If a slide was stuck the pedal wouldnt necessarily be low. It could be stuck and only using the inside pad which is most common and most people never realize it until they have to do pads again.
