If the rear brakes are drum brakes, then there could be a leaky wheel cylinder. The wetness inside the drum will cover all the brake shoes and parts and cause the wheel to lock up when applied. The build of pressure could be due to the wheel cylinder leaking and causing a pressure loss, but rising when the brakes are applied or pumped up. This may/may not be your case, but definitely worth checking the rears.

How do you test the hydraulic brakes for leaks?

To test hydraulic brakes for leaks, you can visually inspect the brake lines and connections for any signs of fluid leakage. Additionally, you can press the brake pedal while the engine is off to build pressure in the system, and then check for any drops in pressure over time, which could indicate a leak.


If your brakes fail pumping the brake pedal may build up enough pressure to restore your brakes enough to come to a stop?

If your brakes fail, repeatedly pumping the brake pedal can sometimes build up enough hydraulic pressure to restore limited braking function, allowing you to slow down and stop the vehicle. This technique may help if the issue is related to air in the brake lines or a temporary loss of pressure. However, it's important to also consider using the handbrake or downshifting to aid in stopping. Always seek professional help to address the underlying brake issue as soon as possible.
