Best Answer

No. air in brake lines will cause you to have a mushy pedal or no brakes at all. normal causes for brakes to drag are either bad calipers/wheel cylinders or rubber brake lines to have deteriorated on the inside forming a kind of one way valve or the emergency (hand) brake cable is hanging up/frozen.

Chevy Venture brake line leaking?

When a brake line is leaking on the Chevy Venture the brake line should be replaced as soon as possible. A leak, however small, can cause hydraulic fluid to escape the brake line which will cause a loss in brake pressure. The brakes should be bled of air after the new line is put in to remove gaps in brake pedal pressure.

When you apply your brake you hear no air?

More info, please. Namely, are you talking about an air brake system? You should hear some air as you apply and release the brake, but you shouldn't hear a continuous air sound as the brake is applied - if so, you've probably got a compromised air line or a bad brake chamber.
