lost front brakes

[xtr3me]

Well this morning was a cold one, and i started my car like normal, let it warm up for about 15 mins. As i was leaving i noticed my brake pedal was a bit "mushy" but i could stop fine. Ten minuts into the drive. A trailblazer made a quick stop and i was forced to slam on my brakes, the pedal went almost to the floor then locked up the rear wheels only (non abs) and slid. Luckly I got the car to stop, I belive the problem is the brake master, where it bolts up to the booster, it leaks all around the gasket. When i replace that, does anything else need to be replaced as well?Proportioning valve, any seals in the booster? Im sorry im a noob when it comes to this part of the the brakes. I do have 2g front brakes on the car, with stock lines and all, would that be the culprit to what happened? Ill post a video as soon as it uploads from youtube.

you need to replace the master cylinder and also check inside the brake booster for fluid. If there is a lot of fluid inside of the brake booster then you will need to replace that also. There are seals in the booster that mustn't come in contact with brake fluid or they get ruined. If there is a very small amount of fluid in the boost you'll need to remove the boost and drain then clean it out.

You're the first noob I've heard of that knows about the proportioning valve.
