When you depress the brake pedel, a swishing sound was heard. I noticed the brake fluid resivior was low. I checked the front pads and decided to change them and in the process I decided to replace the old brake fluid with new. I got the one man bottle from advance Store and attached it to the brake line, opened the brake fitting and depressed the pedel filling the container up with old fluid meanwhile keeping the vesovior full. All when great except it still has the swishing sound. What in the world is the swishing sound when I depress the brake pedel.

Thanks

That is air in the brake lines. You must bleed all 4 brakes. Start from the right rear--then left rear--then the right front --and then the left front--in that order. If still you get the sound then it is probably the master cylinder.

The rubber diaphram is leaking in your power brake booster and the vacuum leak is causing the swishing sound. I had the exact same problem in my 1995. The hardest part about changing it out is getting the stupid clip off the brake pedal end, under the dash. Have fun! Make sure you dont brake the brake light switch in the process.
