Just a few days ago, I had a mechanic that lives down the street from me replace my rotors and brake pads for all 4 wheels. After I got my car back, the brake pedal seems like its loosing pressure to the brakes, and doesn't want to stop as well as it did before. I was told by him that this is normal because the rotors and brakes pads have to break in and adjust themselves.. is this true?
Also, once I popped open my hood I saw lots of brake fluid all around the brake and clutch fluid tanks, where you refill them, and below my car as well. When I opened the brake fluid cover the little pump type thing thats attached to the cover was moving up and down like its not stable to the piece. is this normal? I can't remember if it was held together and didn't move up and down, because my brakes seem to be loosing pressure so I'm wondering if their not getting the brake fluid pumped to them. I may be wrong with this, just wondering if it has any relation to the problem of my brakes not stopping as well, and possibly the leaking brake fluid I'm finding.
If someone could please help me out with this and let me know if I really am having a problem with my car. I don't want to have to blame my mechanic for this one, because I have never had any issues with my brakes until after this job was done. Thanks everyone!
