My Brakes Went Out Today

I was driving home tonite, on North Ave. A car cut over infront of me. When I applied the brakes, the peddle went to the floor. I tested it and it did it again. I was only about a mile from home so I continued driving. When I got home, I added fluid and hit the brakes a few times. Drivers front was leaking all over the place. There seems to be 2 flexable hoses to the front caliper. One goes from the caliper to a hard line on the a-arm, then another flexable from the a-arm to the hardline on the body. The flexable that goes to the body is the one leaking.
Mazda towing is on it's way to pickup the car.
Keep an eye on those flex lines.

Time for a set of SS brake lines The rubber ones crap out really fast when you bake them at the track....
