I have no brakes at all. I did a bit of searching still no sure what it could be. I have no pressure at all when i push down on the brakes. I have no leaks at all and i have max fluid in the brake reservoir. Any ideas? Its my DD

have you blead the brakes? any fluid at all come out? get a uv dye and spike your brake fluid with it, follow the leak. hell could be a bad brake master.

first thing I would do is get some dye to put in the fluid and bleed the brakes. check for leaks while your bleeding then go from there.

Sometimes you have to pump them several times to notice the leak. Could be a caliper piston leaking also which wouldn't be as easily noticed.

even though there are no leaks? no drips are anything?

Well I had the same problem. My problem was that the fluid was so old and I had to bleed the brakes like they said.

My wifes car did the same thing. It was a pin hole in one of the front caliper brake lines. Had to pump it about 20-30 times to see the actual leak. Just so happen to be the last wheel to bleed...

After i took off both front wheels and checked for leaks everywhere on the lines and calibers with soapy water no leaks i could see. But i did notice the the driver side caliber is missing the bleeding pin hole. the passenger side had it. Could this be the problem?

You don't use soapy water to check for fluid leaks... Just look for wet spots. If the ball is missing out of the bleed screw or the bleed screw itself is missing then yes you will have 0 brake pressure.

before i used the soapy water i looked and it did not show any leaking.
