Hey folks,

This may seem a bit lame, but my brake resevoir is at the min, and i was wondering if it's ok just to open the resevoir and top it up without comprimising my brake system.

Just take the cap off, fill to max and i'm good to go??

For some reason i was under the impression that i would lose brake pressure if i opened the resevoir.

 

Yep that is fine. The only way you are going to suck air into the system is if the reservoir were empty and then you stepped on the brakes.

Your brake fluid is low either due to brake pad wear or a leak. It is a good idea to keep the reservoir full, but you may want to check your pads as they may need replacing.

 

I kept putting in brake fluid and then while wheeling it would spill out around cap. I finally just left it half full and put a ziptye around cap....so far so good
