One question in my little foggy mind on the issue of not 'topping up' brake fluid occasionally....
If you didn't do it, what happens to your clutch hydraulics when your brake pads have worn down? Seems to me that you'd be at risk of sucking air into the clutch master cylinder as the fluid level dropped to compensate for worn pads... especially with four-pot calipers.
Jim, old, easily confused, and probably not clear on the whole concept...maybe.

Jim; The reservoir is separated into two sections, and I think you'll find that the clutch draws from the forward section, dedicated to the rear brakes and less likely to be drawn down with pad wear.
