Both dot 3 and dot 4 brake fluids are hygroscopic. Which basically means that they will absorb moisture agressively. The reason you want this is because Moisture can be absorbed through the seals and brake hoses through microscopic pores. Aslo moister is introduced to the system every time the reservoir caps are removed.

 

Also i see you have dirt and grease around the master cylinder. Before removing the cap clean it well. Also make sure your hands are clean as well. The worst thing for a a brake system are petroleum based products which the grime and grease around your reservoirs contain. Petroleum if introduced to the fluid will over time cause all of the rubber parts in your brake system to swell which will then no longer seal correctly. If this happens the only way to fix the problem correctly is to replace or rebuild all calipers,and wheel cylinders if the car is equipped with rear drums, replace all rubber brake lines, and the master cylinder, then remove all steel brake lines and clean properly. And if you have ABS you will have to replace that unit as well. Ive had to do this many times on customers cars because they were careless when adding brake fluid to there cars themselves. And its not exactly a cheap fix as well. And it does not take much contamination to destroy a brake system.

Smaller = Clutch
Bigger = Break

 

Hey I got a quick question regarding the clutch fluid. When I open the cap the fluid is obviously dirty. Its brownish. I want to flush out all the old fluid and replace it with some new fluid. How would I go about replacing all the fluid? Thanks

There's a bleed port on the front of your tranny. Look for the clutch line. Looks just like a brake bleed port. Anyways, Just bleed it down like you would brakes, only pressing down the clutch insted. Make sure to keep refilling the tank. Just keep bleeding till the fluid starts looking cleaner.
