Hey Scotty, I've Got a 1995 Honda Civic EX (top line with all the features) 1.6L with 180k miles. I went to move the car one day and noticed all my fluid in the Master gone.. Kept refilling for a few days etc till I noticed a leak under the ABS modulator/pump (this would happen over night). I was recently doing work under the hood that required me to remove the battery. The car was worked on with no battery for 3 days, within those 3 days, the fluid level in the master never moved or drained and was still at the top mark from my previous fill and bleeding session.
Is the pump getting power on its own some how and just draining the fluid? Would it be smarter to swap the Proportioning Valve To a manual one, run the lines to each wheel that way and delete the ABS? Or Find a way to fix it? Pump itself is (used) over $200 and that wont promise it will last long. The Car is my daily so the sooner I can figure out a way to go about this the better!
Any ideas?
Thanks again! -Tony
On a 27-year-old car I'd be looking for corroded brake lines leaking.
I would consider that if it leaked even with the battery out over night. However the leak is below the pump, all the lines, looked to be dry and have been swapped at some point in its life. Far to clean to be factory lines
