I'm taking my mint 76 914 to a race friend specialist Monday. The brake pedal lately seems to go too far before braking effect. The master cylinder reservoir shows no sign of loss of fluid, nor do I see any sign of brake fluid on the garage floor. The brake pads seem like they have life left. I don't drive it a lot, and it has been ages since I think the pads were replaced, but again, they look ok. I have never changed the brake fluid, figuring if it ain't broke...
Would anyone hazard a guess based on these facts on where we might look first? |

Brake fluid picks up water just sitting there, you should change it every few years. Sounds like you should bleed them anyway, it could be seal going in the master cylinder, but bleeding would be my first move.
