[s-cars] No brakes

[James Yi]

Hey all,

Need the list wisdom here. On Monday over bumps my brake light(red)
flickered on/off. Tuesday, the brake light stayed on longer. Then in the
evening I was driving along and a cop with lights flashing, pulled out in
front of me. Needless to say when I went for the "oh sh*t" stop, the pedal
went to the floor(ABS working) and I almost T-boned the cop. After this
panic stop the pedal goes to the floor but still stops. This morning I did
the "pump test" but it never built up significant pressure, so I checked the
brake fluid reservoir and it was empty.

So my question: Is this the famous "bomb" failure or something else? Any
BTDT I should be aware of? I checked the archives and there were similar
problems but no one mentioned loss of fluid. Patient is a 92' S4 with new MC
when I had the clutch replaced 2 to 3 years ago. Bleed the brakes about a
year ago.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

James, stopless in Seattle
92' S4
