My brakes have started going on me a few weeks back. The oil was totally gone. A couple of garages have told me my lines were probably rusted and leaking, which was confirmed by one of them.

My question is: can I still run this car till the spring without having anything done to it. My brake pedal is obviously very low and I need to be very careful with my braking. OR can I have used parts put on as my plan is to change car in the spring rather than winter when I park in snow banks... I was also warned about the master cylinder being forced in the condition the lines are in right now and the possibility of further break down.

Bottom line, my question is: what should and can do about this problem? Is there a temporary "quick" fix I can use ?

Thank you for helping me with this.
