Re: [DML] Brake fluid

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brake master or clutch master? If it's the brake master, it can be 
filling up the servo. The clutch master usually leaks into the driver's 
carpet as you say.

You shouldn't use dot 5 in a dot 3 system. .(3, 4 and 5.1 are 
interchangable)
