You’ve got a leak somewhere if you are adding fluid or a bad master cylinder, and or air in the lines if it is necessary to pump. Larry Old man᠁Old truck᠁neither one goes very fast. All you need in life is TIME, PATIENCE and MONEY. If you are missing one component, you'll need an abundance of the others two.
