brake fluid dye

[cc72red]

Hi, Is there such an animal as brake fluid dye? If so does anyone know what would be compatible with the DOT 3 used in the 97 ? Is dot 3 regular or synthetic recommended in this vehicles? Thanks !

Brake systems are a pretty high pressure system. Leaks should be quite evident, due to pedal pressure. Do you have a reservoir that you have to keep topping up?

If you’re mysteriously losing brake fluid, take the 2 nuts off the master cylinder at the booster and look behind it for fluid in the booster. Should be able to move it enough without taking any lines loose to see.

Thanks guys. I am the starter of the Barely There Brakes thread. I'm still having issues and was wondering if I could find any traces of fluid with dye.
