umm what?

It's a wheel cylinder and there is not quick fix without a new one. Your gonna need to get a ride to work. If you drive it as is, your car will end up like your sig.

[jboyce]

FUCK, i cant just clamp a line or somethin. i cant get a ride to work

[93F22A6]

Not safely no, well start walking. Call a cab. But there has to be some friend that could give you a ride.

[civic_90_08]

would you rather die going to work, or call a cab and spend a little more money?

or just call and tell them your having car troubles???

well this is where it's leaking, it's not engaging like the opposing side and pushing the pad...what's this part called?

[YK86]

There is no safe way to cap/stop it. Plus if you only stop one of them from working, the other 3 will make the car veer to the side.

EDIT:The wheel cylinders (which is what's leaking) are like $15. Not worth risking your life over.

[bcjammerx]

there are NO soft parts in which you could crimp. All the lines are hard.

You need to call a cab or call in.

[jboyce]

I'm just gonna call my work and say i can't make it and try and fix this shit. thanks =/

[Brandoncb7]

That's what you should do man. For real like a motherfucker. You may make it to work but what if you don't. What if you can't stop all of a sudden when you need to out of the blue because you didn't see someone or something and you kill yourself or someone else because of a 15 dollar part. Wake up early, fix the car, and try to make it for half the day if nothing else. Trust me one day of work missed isn't too bad compared to the rest of your life.

^Agreed. Plus your e-brake probably won't work now either after you disconnected the self adjuster so you really have no way of stopping IF something were to pop out and the brakes didn't work.
