I was driving when the brake pedal went soft. I continued and the service brakes warning light came on. As I was less than 1 mile from home I continued carefully. When I got home I found the brake reservoir almost empty. I discovered the brake hard line to the rear brakes was corroded. This is the line that runs above the gas tank. It was corroded there and leaking fluid. Lucky I wasn't killed or stranded far from home !
