hi guys just noticed a problem thats been occuring on my civic. the brake pedal was low so i decided to adjust the rear drum and that made it nice and firm. but i noticed know that when the car is turned off. the pedals fine. but when the car is on, the pedal gets pretty low. then when i turn it off. i gotta pump it up to get my pedal fine. i think there may be air in the line even tho i never opend up the hydrolic system yet and its been fine for a while. im just worried if its the master cylinder going out. but its not leaking and the fluid level is fine.

cheapest way... bleed the brake system first. If the problem persist... Time to check on the master
