I did a brake fluid flush but on the front driver side I forgot to screw the bolt back on all the way after the flush was completed.
Next time I drove my car, I felt the brake sounding funny so I popped the hood and my brake fluid was really low so I replaced it and it got low again after driving it.
Then I saw fluid on the front driver side rim and that's how I found the loose bolt.
I was just asking because I was curious what would happen if there was air in the brake lines.
I am not 100% sure if my lines have air in them because I have had no problems yet, but I'm gonna order some more Super ATE brake fluid to bleed the lines just in case.
As everyone else has posted...you need to rebleed your brakes. Not tightening that fitting did indeed let air back into the lines. You need to rebleed immediately. It just makes no sense not to...it's easier to bleed the brakes than change the oil if you drop the under engine cover on these cars.
