Break Fluid

There are only two reasons why the brake fluid

level in the reservoir might go down. The first

is that the brake fluid goes down to an acceptable

level during normal brake lining wear. When

new linings are put in, the fluid level goes back

up. The other reason is that fluid is leaking out of

the brake system. If it is, you should have your

brake system fixed, since a leak means that

sooner or later your brakes will not work well, or

will not work at all.

So, it is not a good idea to top off your brake fluid.

Adding brake fluid will not correct a leak. If you

add fluid when your linings are worn, then you will

have too much fluid when you get new brake

linings. You should add or remove brake fluid, as

necessary, only when work is done on the

birake hydraulic system. The brake reservoir is shown on page 438 item I.
