98 ek no breaks help

Hey im new to the forum, I just recently got the car and theres no brakes other than the e brake. It also threw a code at me P0505. I put break fluid into the MC and I realized there was fluid all over the floor 10 minutes later/ If you guys can help me figure out what i need to do and check i would appreciate it.

That's a fault code for a faulty IACV, which will be unrelated to your braking issue. Just try cleaning it.

As for your braking, it certainly sounds like you have a leak. I'd start by getting under the car and seeing where the leak is coming from. If it's leaking that quickly, it shouldn't be hard to see.

will do, i was also looking for videos some guy said that code can also come from a leak in the brake booster system. i was wondering if anyone else had this code.also im not sure if the MC is faulty. my break just pushes al the way top the ground with no resistance

.....
find the leak.
My guess is where the brake and fuel lines run through that stupid plastic cover that runs front to back on the driver's side. You'll probably need to change all the brake and fuel lines to make the car safe again. This will probably exceed the value of the car unless you do everything yourself. I've done this on 2 different 6th gens

find the leak.

find the leak

also, it spells brakes.

I would be happy with a car without "breaks" - would mean it's trouble-free.
