I touched on this issue about 1yr and a half ago maybe longer. In warmer weather when pressing down on the brake I'd get a horn style sound coming from the driver side foot well. I didn't think much about as it didn't happen all the time or in colder weather.
Today while my wife was on her way home she calls to let me know that when she hits the brakes it was making a whole new noice. She did say the original sound we had heard time and time again came back this morning but that this one actually made her a little nervous.This one was a whistle! She also noticed that the amount of pressure needed to come to a stop had increased a bit not drastically but she knew something wasn't right.
She made it home taking it easy and as she said with one white knuckled hand on the E-brake lever.
This is what I found under the hood which only tells me it's time for a new diaphragm and master cylinder while I'm in there.
Definitely some fluid coming through the seams although the reservoir shows up fine with the amount of brake fluid in it.
I'm going to do some searching on this r&r and looking for the best price for the parts that have to be replaced if anyone has any insight on this please let me know.
