That’s just not true. I have been working with hydraulics for decades and have seen plenty of instances where fluid is able to pass through valves due to internal failure with not so much as a drop of fluid leaving the system.
You don’t have to “lose” fluid to lose the ability to create pressure. A simple o-ring failure can do it. Expansion, solenoid failure, etc will all cause a system to malfunction.
We’ve all seen instances where someone lost an entire pad or the pad ate through the rotor because people don’t even understand or think things need servicing. This will cause a pedal to go to the floor till the proportioning valve reacts and then the pedal will pump up and work. It happens.
