Just came back from a vacation where my Jeep XJ sat for almost 3 weeks. Noticed that the brakes were mushy. 2 days later my brake light came on. Checked the brake fluid - totally dry. Refilled.
Here is what I think I should be checking for next.
1. Leaks in brake lines
2. Brake fluid leaking out near brakes. - none so far
3. Master cylinder - already checked - appears to be no leaks
So here are my questions.
1. Do I need to bleed the brake lines?
2. Is there anything else I should be checking?
Thanks in advance
