Brake fluid loss 850

posted by  someone claiming to be 95Brick on  Thu Oct 5 14:25 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Hey all,

Wife had and emergency stop the other day. She thought she ruined the tranny because she said when she slammed on the brakes they shuttered! I told her no you didn't it was just the ABS system working.
However, The fluid is low now with the warning light comming on after every stop. I have filled back to capacity and checked all calibers for leaks, none found, by the way i have SS brake lines. Although, upon further inspection I found fluid on the bottom of the manifold of the master. I could not find or verify and leak source! Question, does the ABS system have a blow off valve to release pressure under extreme braking conditions? Or, did she blow something out?

Michael
