If you make a mistake and put motor oil into your brake fluid could you lose your brakes and how long would it take to go through the system before you have no brakes.?
Good time to replace all the brake fluid. Remove the brake lines from the Master Cylinder and pump the master cylinder dry. Add fresh brake fluid from an unopened can and bleed the master cylinder. Reinstall the brake lines and then bleed all brake lines until you see clean fluid. Keep adding fluid to the Master Cylinder until you are done.Good time to replace all the brake fluid.

How can oil leak through the drivers side floor board of a 1999 saturs sl?
This may be your brake master cylinder leaking brake fluid through your brake booster into the passenger compartment. This is the only source of oil on the driver side of the car. It is likely that your master cylinder rear seal failed long ago and has been slowly filling the brake booster which is mounted to the firewall of the car above the brake pedal. I hope this helps
Can the brake booster cause your brake pedal to go to the floor?
No, a busted brake booster will not cause the brake pedal to go to the floor. It will however cause the brake pedal to be extremely hard to push. A defective master cylinder will cause what you describe. Replace the master cylinder and bleed the brakes. It can because it happened to me. The booster lost vaccum and the pedal went to the floor. Sorry, you are wrong. The only reason the pedal went to the floor was because the master cylinder failed. The brake booster only boosts the pressure on the master cylinder and allows you to not have to push so hard on the brake pedal. Cars of yesteryear did not even have a brake booster and they stopped just fine albeit you had to push the pedal allot harder than with power brakes. A failing brake booster will not cause your pedal to go to the floor although it might cause it to go lower than normal before the brakes apply. As long as the master cylinder is good you will still have brakes, but you will have to really push hard and might even have to pump them up in order for them to stop the car.
What does the master cylinder look like in a 1987 Chevy s10?
The Brake Master Cylinder is on the left side of the firewall (as you sit in truck) looks like a plastic container. It will have a black lid. There will be metal lines running off of it. Its about 8 inches long and 4 inches wide. The Clutch Master Clinder is on the same side and closer to the fender. Its round and about the size of your hand if you make the letter "C". Uses the same fluid as the Brake master clinder.

Where do you fill the clutch fluid and can brake fluid be used to fill it?
Do you mean the clutch master cylinder or transmission fluid? They both will be under the hood, the clutch master cylinder will more than likely be on the drivers side near the dash and will say what type of fluid to put in (dot 3) and will say clutch master cylinder. Just open the plastic cap when the fluid is cool and fill to the fill line. I believe as long as the brake fluid says dot 3 or whatever type you need it's okay to use. As for transmission fluid, do NOT use brake fluid for that, buy regular transmission fluid
