Any suggestions what could be causing failing brakes?

Asked by Jonathan_hodgkins (684points) July 18th, 2011

My car’s brakes recently failed, so I took off the tires to examine them. What I discovered was a ruptured CV joint that had spewed grease everywhere. Figuring that this was the problem, I replaced the CV joint, re-attached the brakes and properly bled them. However, I am still having brake problems. The red brake indicator light is on and there has to be some sort of leak because the reservoir is losing fluid. Could it be the hoses? Any suggestions what this could be or what steps I should take?
