Air coming out of calipers and gas filler

Topic starter

i have a 2003 Dodge Dakota quad cab 4 wheel drive with the V6. I changed the brakes calipers rotors and brake lines back shocks I just did a radiator flush because my motor is getting hot and I think the transmission to. but when we had it apart doing the brakes there was air coming out of the calipers all 4 of them it was still hissing when we put the brakes back together well now it's been at least a month and there is still air coming out of calipers and the gas filler neck. what could be doing this? master cylinder? brake booster? wheel cylinders? and now is getting hot but not overheating. I do have a slow leak in the radiator and a leak in the power steering line I think. and I think the thermostat is messing up. I don't know alot about vehicles but I am learning by watching videos and owning a Dekata.

1- Break calipers don't "hiss"..

there is still air coming out of calipers and the gas filler neck.

2- See 1 above and gas fumes are toxic.

gas fumes are toxic.

Seems right to me.

So the escaping air will be dead...

 

About the problem:

when all 4 brake calipers let air escape, where is the brake fluid residing now?

Air comes out of the bleeding valves?

and as 'output' heavily correlates with 'input', where is air entering the brake system??

You did not invent an air-brake system, by chance? 😀 

 

Note: as far as I'm aware, in a brake-booster, air is sucked away (by the running engine) and no air pressed into.

You didn't connect an air-delivering hose to the vacuum-connector of your booster I hope.
