my 93 pontiac grand am has a brake problem. i slammed on the brakes, and heard a popping sound, then i lost all brake pressure. removed frnt right wheel, where there was brake fluid all over the rim. since, i filled it back up with brake fluid and found no leak, but still don't have brake pressure. the emergency brake (when released) clicks all the way back down to the floor by it's self. also my back left tire is locked up. not sure what is going on please help.
 
First off if your back left wheel is locked up I'm guessing your brakes are seized up. I would guess you have drums on the rear. I would do a full brake overhaul since this happened. Get new pads, and shoes. Have the rotors, and drums turned, or get new ones. Replace your wheel cylinders, and check all of your brake hoses, and lines. If all that looks good reassemble everything, and bleed the brakes. Starting from the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder, and working one closer at a time. That should do the trick. I suppose also something could have went wrong with the master cylinder. Might want to have that checked also.
