Need air leaks fixed in brake sys... know anyone or shop that can do this in DFW
Yes, red and green are brakes, and only brakes. I would guess that someone might
reverse the colors during connection, but standard says red/front, green/rear. Because the brake system is protected, leaks in something like air bags cannot produce rapid drop in the brake pressure unless you also have a problem with the protective one-way valves. So, I would concentrate on the front tank and brake lines before looking elsewhere.
