Lost Break Pressure Yeah I recently got in a accident because someone cut me off on the highway, spun out blew rear right wheel. Changed wheel, lost break pressure and pumps when de-pressed, RR sqeaks and sounds like its grinding, but not constant (you know the faster I move the more sqeaks). I am about to bleed the system but I do not think that will fix it, am I right or do I need to look at somthing else?
Brake, not break. Break means you probably broke something, which it sounds like you may have. Take a look at each caliper and check for leaking brake fluid. A sudden loss of pressure usually indicates a rupture of the line somewhere. You should be able to trace it from the residual brake fluid. Good luck - and try not driving until you evaluate how bad it is!!!

any updates? that exact same thing just happend to me. I had to replace the LCA and the TA but my brakes are still losing slight pressure but only when driving. when the car is stopped the brake pressure is normal and there are no leaks.
