Suddenly, my brakes got extremely spongy and vehicle pulled to the right while braking.. Figured it just needed bled. When starting, was looking for leaks, busted lines, ect. when i found fluid underneath the brake distribution unit (i think thats what its called, its on the passenger side where the lines to in and out of), upon inspection, one of the banjo bolts were loose.. So i figured that was the issue. Tightened her up, bled the brakes, and after the second or third stop, it started doing it again. But Since i tightened the bolt, there has been NO loss of fluid. Is there a SPECIFIC way to bleed the entire brake system with the distribution block included? Please help, this is the only issue out of a million i already fixed thats keeping her off te road. Thanks! Brian

Is the "distribution block" on the passenger side an ABS unit?

If so and it's failing, probably the most logical approach would be to simply delete it.

so just mate the lines exiting the ABS block with the lines coming from the master cylinder? sounds easy enough, but would any sensors be affected that would give me a constant ABS dummy light?

I dunno...never had a car with ABS, only seen them in junkyards.

You probably have an air bubble in the ABS unit itself. You might go out and do some agressive braking getting into ABS and that may cycle the air bubble out of the motor into one of the individual lines where it may be bled. You can also try a mityvac to suck it out. The dealer should also be able to cycle the ABS motor to get the brakes bled properly.
