The other day I moved my 88 coupe and the brake pedal went to the floor. Would not pump up either. Luckily I only had to move it 30 yards. I noticed a little bit of fluid on one of the rear wheels. So I checked the master cylinder and the rear resivour was completely dry and the front about half full. I added new dot 3 fluid and they pumped right back up. My question is if the caliper is leaking should I change both calipers or just the one ?

I would do both. Its a safety thing. How long was it sitting?

If it is the caliper leaking and both of the calipers are the same age (old), then I would probably replace both as the other one is probably not far behind. If they are relatively new / rebuilt calipers, just replacing one is fine.

Bad news is very likely have to bleed the MC because tank went dry.
