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

REfill your mastercyl and bleed the brakes all four corners, have an assistant push the brake pedal while you watch for leaks
