Problem: Article: A squishy or soft brake pedal means that you can press the pedal further than you should be able to or even all the way down to the floor. The car may take longer to stop as well. This usually means that there is a problem with the hydraulic brake system. The 2 most common causes for this are a leak in the brake line and air in the system. Investigate further to locate the issue. Don't drive the car with a squishy brake pedal. This is an urgent problem. If you suddenly notice your brake pedal go soft while you're driving, pull over immediately. This could indicate a ruptured brake line or similar failure of the brake system. First check if you have enough brake fluid in the system. Open your hood and find the master cylinder reservoir, which is where the brake fluid is stored. This is a white tank on top of a metal tube, usually located towards the back of the engine bay on the driver's side. Open the cap and see if the brake fluid reaches the fill line. Park your car on a level surface to get an accurate brake level reading. If you can't find the master cylinder, check your car owner's manual for a diagram. If your car was recently running, parts under the hood will be hot. Don't touch anything except the master cylinder to avoid burns. if its level is low. If your brake fluid level is below the fill line, add new fluid. Most cars use DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid. Fill the master cylinder reservoir up to the fill line and replace the cap. If you aren't sure what type of brake fluid your car uses, consult your owner's manual. Get into the driver's seat and start pumping your brakes to see if there is any improvement. If they feel better, the problem was probably low brake fluid. But continue searching to find the cause of the low fluid. Pumping the brakes pushes fluid into the hydraulic system and reveals any potential leaks. You could turn the car on for this step, but this causes the liquid to expand. If you have a leak, liquid may spill out quickly. If you have a leak in your brake lines, fluid will seep out when you press the brakes. After pumping the brakes a few times, start searching for leaks. Brake fluid is light gold in color. If you see liquid like this under your hood, around or under your car, or in the car, it indicates a brake leak. First look under the hood. Check the housing around the master cylinder for leaking fluid. Follow the brake line out of the master cylinder and into the hood of the car. Do a visual check for any fluid coming out. Then check for drips or pools underneath the car. Look especially around the insides of the tires. Fluid sometimes runs down the tires if there's a leak. Also look inside the car, just behind the brake pedal. Sometimes fluid leaks here. If you see brake fluid leaking, this is a serious problem that has to be fixed immediately. If you know how, fix the leak yourself. Otherwise, get the car to a mechanic as soon as possible. If the leak is coming from the master cylinder, replace it promptly. Do not drive a car with a brake fluid leak to a mechanic. You could lose your brakes completely on the way. Call a tow truck instead. Avoid driving the car at all until the leak is fixed. if the pedal is soft and there is no leak. If you don't find a brake fluid leak, then there is probably air in the brake system. It also inhibits brake performance. Bleed air out of the system to improve your performance. The bleeding process includes pumping the brakes, jacking the car up, and releasing the bleed valve on each tire's brakes. Follow each step carefully to complete the procedure. The tires need to be bled in a specific order. Check your owner's manual for the correct bleeding order.
Summary: Check your brake fluid if the pedal feels squishy. Open the hood and check the fluid level. Refill the brake fluid Pump the brakes with the car off. Check the brake lines for any leaking fluid. Have the car fixed immediately if you have a brake fluid leak. Bleed the brake system

Problem: Article: There are different types of insects that can be problematic in the garden, including ones like caterpillars and beetles that chew holes in leaves. These types of bugs can cause a great deal of damage to plants, so you should take steps to get rid of them. Along with using insecticide to treat caterpillars and beetles in the garden, you can also remove them by hand. Pick the bugs off the plant with your fingers and drop them into a bucket filled with soapy water. White, yellow, or brown discoloration on leaves could indicate that your garden is infested with bugs like mites or thrips. Both of these insects suck juices from plants and can cause leaves to discolor and die. When treating for thrips and mites, spray foliage, buds, and the soil around the plant. Thrips are a tiny winged insect with a slender body. Distortion such as curling and gnarling leaves indicate the presence of leafhoppers, stinkbugs, and aphids in the garden. These insects suck sap from plants, and this causes the leaves to distort and drop off. These bugs can be treated by spraying the plants with water, but use insecticide for more severe infestations. Fungi and other similar organisms can infest plants as well. In particular, blackspot mold, powdery mildew, and downy mildew can cause fuzzy or powdery spots on leaves. These problems are not caused by insects, so they can't be controlled with insecticide. The best way to control these issues is to prevent them by watering plants from below so the leaves don't get wet. Remove any leaves that show signs of infection.
Summary:
Look for holes in the leaves. Check for discolored leaves. Inspect leaves for distortion. Look for fuzzy black, white, and yellow spots.
