Brake failure due to brake fluid leaking through master cylinder and being sucked into the exhaust. The fluid is sucked out of the brake system through a vacuum line in the master cylinder and booster which lowers the fluid level and lets air into the brake lines. The brake fluid is then burned in the exhaust and creates white smoke from the exhaust pipe. The "low brake fluid" light came on while driving on a main…

While i was driving the low brake fluid warning came on, and seconds later the brakes felt spongy and would not return. I was able to make it to a gas station and added a bottle of brake fluid to the reservoir. This gave pressure back to the pedal, but a second later the light came back on and a loss of pressure was noticed through pedal again. The pedal needs to be on the floor to getting any stopping action. I…
