Your brake master cylinder reservoir is here. It
is
filled
with DOT-3 brake 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
leakng 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,

w ~ n ' 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.
When your brake fluid falls to a low level, your brake
warning light will come on. See "Brake System Warning
Light" in the Index.
