How To Check Power Steering Fluid
When the engine compartment is cool, unscrew the cap
and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. The level
should be at the C mark. If necessary, add only enough
fluid to bring the level up to the proper range. Replace
the cap and completely tighten it. Then remove the cap
again and look at the fluid level on the dipstick.
Brake Master Cylinder 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 leaking 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, or won’t
work at all.
