At the very least you need a top up and full bleed now. I would hazard a guess that there's a leak somewhere, would hazard a guess that it may be related to the SS line install.

And yeah, don't drive it anywhere. She needs to be towed.


------------------
How to fix your car:
1. Buy a Haynes manual
2. Read Haynes maual
3. Read and search appropriate threads, trust us, it's been covered before
4. Fix car
5. Consume beer of job well done

Just off of Northfield in Waterloo. Might be some closer, but these guys have been good to me over the last few years.

How long have you been running the SS lines? Did you use the crush washers provided? If so were they copper or aluminum ?
