I'm trying to add break fuild and on the cap it says to clean it before unscrewing
    #14580821 - 06/08/11 04:59 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

So I have to clean the cap off the break fluid container before I unscrew it and pour in the fluid? what is the point of that?

If you get any moisture or shit in your break fluid it can alter the boiling point of the fluid....You don't want that to happen

You just don't want anything to fall into the fluid. Sometimes a lot of crud builds up around the cap and when unscrewing it something can fall in.


So just make sure the fluid doesn't get contaminated, that is all :shrug: .

Slow leak, probably wheel cylinders and master cylinder too.
Adding fluid will help for a while, but really the answer is new parts.

Doubt you have a leak.
Did it drop after you pressed the brake pedal. If yes then you need to bleed them. You should probably bleed them anyway.

Were you actually going to go to a mechanic to add your brake fluid?

My place does a full inspection for free- I'm sure going in if there's a sudden drop in fluid.
Not just to top off.
