[Shotimes] brake spongy

[Dave Kegel]

Check the master cylinder.  You could very well have a leak in the
system somewhere.  If not, once you bleed them you should be all set.

Ok, well, having not used the brakes at all and still having had the
spongy pedal, what does that mean? I mean, I was pushing it all the way
to the floor, and braking power was decent but certainly nowhere near
locking up. Did air get in somewhere? Did I lose fluid? I didn't think
to check the MC fluid level but I'll check it when I get back. I heard a
snapping sound when I first backed up but I assumed that was the pads
breaking contact with the (really really rusty) rotors (and my wife had
the parking brake on for 3 mos. too, so that probably got a little rusty
as well). Any ideas? I won't be able to check until I check out on leave
later today as I'm on duty right now. Thanks!
