Re: brake fluid leakage

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

There should be NO brake fluid leakage under any conditions, hot or 
cold, storage or use. In the event of ANY leakage noticed by either 
the level going down or signs of leakage it must be taken seriously 
and fixed as soon as possible. Examine each caliper, hose, and brake 
line. Inspect the master cylinder and if you don't see any external 
leaks inspect the inside of the vacuum hose at the power brake 
booster. Bleed the brakes and only use Castrol GTLMA DOT 4 Brake 
fluid. It needs to be changed every 2 years as per the owner's manual. 
If the level is going down take that as a warning to go over one of 
the most important systems of any car (Steering to be the MOST 
important.)
