Brake fluid contamination!

[Ziad]

My brake pedal was near hitting the ground when I bought the car so I thought it only needs a bit of bleeding.

I checked the car at a local mechanic and he showed me the brake fluid. It was contaminated. My rear brakes do not work at all(kinda felt like it) and all brake power is from the front wheels.

Mechanic said replacing the whole system would cost 3000+ however it *might* work if I kept flushing and bleeding the system multiple times, it might work.

Anyone went through this? or anyone went through having the rear brakes not working and it was fixed?

All comments appreciated!
