Brake issue-need advice
Hey guys i was about to drive to Wildwood beach in NJ in my 98 sc400 and right before i hit the parkway my brakes became very soft. I had to push the brakes all the way down for it to work. Also my brake light came on. Luckily i had some brake fluid in my trunk and i put that in. I put ss brakelines in it about 3 months ago along with ls400 bbk and there was no issue. But im thinking the brake master cyclinder is started to go. What do you guys think?

Yeah as OBEEWON said. ANY leak is huge, its under a lot of pressure and will come out very rapidly. There isn't even that much fluid in the whole system anyway. From brand new bone dry system to full is MAYBE a liter... Fix the leak, that's the actual problem. Then bleed it since leaks cause air..

where is the leak? you said minimal at the lines but its leaking from the master too? where on the master, and where on the lines? is the banjo bolt properly torqued with crush washers?

UPDATE:
So i found out what the problem was. When me and my friends were installing my coil overs they pushed the rotors down to hard which put a lot of strain on the ss brake line. I remember that same day i thought it was going to break. So the SS would was leaking right under the brake master area. It just so happened to be driver side front line making it look like it was the brake master lol.
Thanks everyone for trying to help me out, I appreciate it.
