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. I I I I If you have too much brake fluid, it can spill the engine. The on fluid will burn if the engine hot enough.You or others could is be burned, andyour vehicle couldbe damaged. Add brake fluid only when work is done on the brake hydraulic system.
