So I started my car and back it into the driveway as I do every couple of days, realizing that my brake pedal is going to the floor, I yanked the E-Brake. Looking infront of my car I see a puddle of brake fluid out of my garage aka it just happened as I was backing it out. I have no idea how/why this happened. When I bought the car it was driven to my house, but hasnt left the driveway since- it’s been a month now. I would look under myself but I don’t have a jack that will fit under and its a little too cold to be screwing around with my car, considering i have a tranny leak to fix as well, I hope this isn’t normal in 240s lol.
Secondly, I was wondering if leaving a trickle charger hooked up to the battery would do any harm, I have a car alarm and it kills the battery if I don’t turn the car on for about 2 weeks.
In regards to your brake system problem it sounds like your hydraulic brake lines need to be replaced.
In regards to your battery draining, it sounds like either you have a decent drain on the electrical system or you have a battery thats on the way out.
You can use a trickle charger and that should be able to maintain power within your battery, but I would say check your CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) after you take the car for a bit of a drive. If they are significantly below the advertised CCA on the battery itself it may be time to replace the battery.
If your car is in a driveable state you can bring it by my shop and I can tell you what the problem is at no charge.
I am located at the corner of Keele & Steeles in north york, if you live a distance away and your brakes are completely toast I wouldn’t recommend driving it though.
