:
:            I would have to disagree with some of the above. The reason
: you see lower fluid levels in the master cylinder is caused by brake pad/shoe
: wear. As the pads wear, the caliper pistons have to move further out in their
: bores to effect braking. This takes more brake fluid..........VOILA, lower
: levels in the master cylinder. ANY leak in the brake hydraulic system (however
: small), would introduce AIR into the brake system. This would bring about
major
: problems very
: quickly.

You never 'bled' the brake lines, to get the air out?

where did the fluid go?
