So I was driving the car for the first time in a week or 2, and the brakes felt a little funny. Also smell something like an "electrical fire". But no smoke or anything. All other fluids seem to be fine.
The very top right container next to the diagnostics box is low (is this brake fluid?) and My master cylinder next to that is low. My car is garage kept, so I would see obvious drips, and none are there  . Not sure what this could be, does the fluid level just go down after a while?thanks This post has been edited by slickr: Oct 14, 2010 - 1:29 PM |

no. if theres no obvious damage to your rotors you should be fine. i always end up bleeding the fluid empty, and therefore sucking air in the lines.. make SURE you add fluid every 8-10 pumps, even if it looks ok.. fill it up.
