hey guys,
ive had problems with my brakes recently after my car got impounded. First i realized some brake fluid had leaked out when it went up on the tow truck at an angle, doesnt leak when its sitting flat. But i realized that my brakes all of a sudden had become extremely weak and when i mash on them hard it makes a grinding noise from the front brakes. I bled all 4 brakes, replaced my rear drums and all the pads are fine. What could be my problem im lost...

How is the fluid in your master cylinder? Does it maintain the same level after driving? Did you check all your lines to makes sure the tow truck didn't hook a tie down to one and cause damage?

I would definately go over the brake lines to check for damage. Sounds like something physically happened while your car was impounded.
