Yesterday, some genius pulled out in front of me and I had a hard stop. "BRAKES" idiot light came on for a second then went away. I pulled into a parking lot, and started simple. I checked fluid first. It is a dual master with power disc brakes. When I checked fluid, the reservoir for the rear brakes was almost empty, and the reservoir for the front was way full and spilling out of the top. I then got both of them to the same level. Went on a drive, plenty of stops. When I get home and check it again, the rear reservoir had lowered some, and the front reservoir had raised some. Ive googled this and found nothing at all. They are supposed to be two completely seperate sealed systems, right?
