   Hi Guys
   
   Ive got a problem with my brakes. Recently ive had to push the peddle much closer to the floor to brake properly, so my first thought was a leak. Ive checked around and i cant find any leaking and the fluid level hasnt dropped since i last bled the brakes about 2 months ago.
   
   Does anyone know why this is happening?
   
   Cheers

   Usually means there is air in the system mate so I'd re bleed the brakes if I were you.
