1994 Integ RS (Model w/o ABS)
I had developed a Leak in the brake system which has gotten so bad that I have to refil the reservoir every 3-4 days.
I assumed It was the lines since they're stanky rubber on a 8+ yr old chassis So I dropped the $ for some goodrich SS lines.
Installed yesterday and found 2 things:
1 lines did not fix the leak (rear pass side) so I'm assuming the leak is the Caliper now (fluid is 'dripping' from near where the line bolts onto the caliper. I figure I can get a caliper from any integra 94+ (RS/LS/GS/GSR all same for rear brakes right????)
Tried to bleed the brakes w/ a friend who has done them before and running into some problems.
we bleed the system and the pedal has good solid feel.
Turn the car on and that feel turns to S___.
Try turning car on and bleeding again w/ car on - its fine until you turn car off and turn it back on.
Do we have MASS air in the lines or could that leak in the caliper be causing the system not to pressurze?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I feel like I can fix this myself w/o having to stoop to the level of having a shop do it.

Thanks,
Dan

 

ALSO...
Does it matter if the Ebrake is engauged.
Should the reservoir be open or closed during bleeding?

 

if you have a leak in the hard brake lines, than perhaps air is getting into the system from there.... is ther a brake line drip anywhere other than the caliper?

try driving the car after you've bled it even if you get smushy pedal feel, if the brake pedal kicks back to the normal position no problems than the system should be air free.
