I just picked up my car from the mechanic after getting the clutch master cylinder replaced. I noticed the reservoir is way overfilled, is this bad? what can it cause? the mechanic insisted that it was ok, but I want to make sure this is correct.


thanks for any input in advance.

It should be fine considering it won't use anymore than it needs. How can it be way over filled there isn't much room in there anyway. Just take out the amount it's over filled by and call it a day.

Don't see how it's possible to be overfilled.

its full up to the cap, which is actually about one inch above the max line. I just wanted to make sure what the mechanic said was correct.

to take out the amount overfill, just open nipple on the slave cylinder to drain the extra? or siphon it out?

thanks

Open it, and have someone pump the petal.

Leave it alone. Is it causing performance issues?

gen2tegboi

not really, at least not yet. I have only driven it three miles to my home. I thought the min, max marks where there for a reason. which is why I worry there could be performance issues later on. Either way, I'll head out to my parents garage tomorrow to drain some out, and keep it on specs

will be fine... if ur worried have someone hold the clutch pedal down and open the slave cylinder bleeder will takes some fluid out

Nothing to worry about. If it bugs you that much, take a straw and suck some out. Just dont drink it. Its not kool-aid...

I don't know. It has a nice smoked flavor I've come akin too. Prestone taste the best.

bleed ur clutch line till the fluid level reaches the marks. can't hurt anything...

Stick a paper towel in there and let it soak some up.. or leave it, it won't hurt
