Brake Problem December 07, 2009, 09:34:18 PM I have a pristine Cougar 96 that's on standby. I start it up about every 2-3 wks and run the AC , shift it to get the tranny seals moist,etc. At my last startup the brake pedal went to the floor...!!!! pffffffffft it said. I looked under the hood and it looks like a hose going from the master cylinder to under the battery leaked. I need to replace it. Does anyone know what it's for???? thanks, Quote Selected
