I think I would notice if it was leaking completely..
What kind of brake fluid does it use?
I'll fill it up before taking it in as Black Betty suggested.
Thanks.

Use a good quality DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid. Castrol or Valvoline are brand names to consider. And watch out for soft or spongy brakes if air gets into your lines. The dealer will want to bleed and refill the entire system.

what color is the OEM brake fluid supposed to be?
My old car had blue color and I jsut read that it could be clear for DOT 3/4....
I might have to go down to check it out again now...

Just went for a second check...
indeed the brake fluid is clear LOL.
They topped it above the max line that I couldn't see the fluid level without trying really hard.
I feel stupid now.

I don't know how EVERYONE didn't notice that the fluid was just above the MAX line in this pic. Am I one of the only few that aren't blind?
