Default Help Needed Brakes went completely out

I was backing out of my driveway and went to stop when I got into road and the pedal goes to the floor,Zero brakes..the ABS and Traction Control light come on immediately..so I pop the hood and took pic of where the fluid is and where it’s coming from under car..could this be a simple hose going to the caliper?..I can’t take a look with the wheel of until Sunday..FYI I just replaced rotors and pads on the front a week ago

I wouldn’t think so because I didn’t touch it when I was doing the rotors and pads..

From the PICs your assumption of a burst hose makes sense.

Good luck & let us know what you find.

While doing your brakes and rotors how did you secure your calipers? Did you have them hanging?

I’m hoping it came from tension or twisting of the caliper hose..although I did have it mostly supported (for the majority of the time)by a few 2x8 boards..
