That your brake fluid reservoir (and clutch)

If your brake fluid is low
Check your brake pads
As the pads wear the fluid drops

This through me when I first got my CJ, looking around for the clutch fluid reservoir. Every other car I'd owned had always have both, seperate.

The big mistake everyone does is when they see the brake fluid drop they go and fill it back up
Bad move
Cos when you replace pads and push the piston in the caliper back in , the reservoir will overfill and put enough pressure on it and it will cause some damage
It's perfectly normal for the fluid to drop as pads wear out
Nothing to panic over
