Brakes
Asked by Lesliejean78 Nov 11, 2018 at 03:59 AM about the 2005 Kia Amanti
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My rear passenger brake pads were grinding then it
started like grabbing then it like got stuck on when
i took off my tire was screaching and it smelled
bad. I stopped and reversed and then I had to try to
make it to my destenation and this sound like a
pop happened when I applied my brakes then the
grinding/rubbing sound stopped and when I parked
there was fluid on the ground by my tire. Does that
mean my aluminum brake line has busted?

Ok and how will i tell once I get it off? And how can that ruin the master cylander?
It is possible that a brake hose broke, a metal brake line (they are not aluminum) cracked or the caliper seal or piston went bad. This in no way would ruin a master cylinder. Check to see if the caliper became loose or something is broken. Locating the leak will point you in the right direction.

Thanks I will try to do that but in an educated opinion would itblow thebrake line first or what happens first usually so I sort if know where to start
The leak should be fairly easy to find. Maybe have someone push the brake while you have the wheel off looking for the leak. Make sure you top off the brake fluid reservoir first. Hard to say what may have happened first or exactly what the issue is.
