I got in on the passenger side of my plane the other day and pushed the brake pedals. Both R and L went totally to the floor even after I pumped many times. The pilots side worked perfectly. Further investigation showed that my reservoir was dry. I know that I was remiss about checking the fluid the last two inspections, but with no leaks I didn't feel a need too. I am positive that I didn't have a leak, because it makes a sticky mess like dried syrup (I have experience with this on my last plane). So, WHERE DID IT GO? All I can think of it that the plastic lines expanded and took some of the volume, or it evaporated out the the breather cap. Neither one of these seem feasable to me though. Again there is no evidence of leakage in the cockpit, FWF or around the wheel pants. Any ideas?
