Brake job pending: questions. . .

By newbie101
- Fri May 21, 2010 2:53 am #195822 I've added brake fluid to my car once. Will brake fluid pour out the top of the resevoir under the engine compartment when I push back the piston thing? Sorry for the lack of technical terms, but it's late and my head hurts :thumbdown:
