Question
Hi, I'm currently driving an 82 Camaro.  I have a brake fluid leak somewhere.  I checked my brake fluid and it was bone dry.  I refilled the fluid and it still doesn't brake.  I'm really just wondering how much I should expect to fork out for the repairs needed.

Thanks

Hello Ryan,
If the fluid is leaking from the master cylinder and running down the firewall under the power booster, you might get by for about $50. in parts....maybe a hundred to have it installed.
If it is a wheel cylinder....
Take it in and get it fixed.
The cost to have it repaired now is very cheap compared to the expense of a wreck due to lack of brakes.
