Brake
Master
Cylinder
Your brake
master
cylinder
is
here.
It is
filled
with
DOT-3
brake
fluid.
There are only
two
reasons
why
the
brake
fluid
level
in
your
master
cylinder
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 won’t
work
well, or won’t
work
at all.
So,
it isn’t a good
idea
to
“top
off”
your
brake
fluid. Adding
brake
fluid
won’t
correct a leak.
If
you
add
fluid
when
your
linings are worn,
then you’ll
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
brake
hydraulic
system.
