Stupid brake question
Getting ready to bring out my cars from storage. Popped the cover off the master cylinder of my '70 GTO with non-power drum brakes.
Zero fluid in the front half of the master cylinder. Will I have to bleed the whole system? Thanks in advance - brain cramp.

Sounds like a good idea to me. How long have they been in storage? Might be a good time to flush the brake fluid if it has been a few years.

Did you find the leak? Fluid had to go some where. After the leak is repaired I would do as sk2i suggested. Flush and bleed the entire system. Maybe even put in all new lines and cylinders if needed.

Just Winter storage. I can't remember if I've taken it out this Spring but am pretty sure I did take it for a spin through town. Never noticed any brake issues.
Have not had the chance yet to look for a leak but expect it will be the left front wheel cylinder. Have already replaced the right one and did rear brakes last Spring.
