Default Brake Master Cylinder Question
noticed the front reservoir of my break cylinder seems to be running out quicker than the back reservoir. i take it i have a leak somewhere. should i be looking at the rear breaks or the front breaks? not sure which reservoir goes to which part of the jeep. thanks for helping this noob out

Front is for rear brakes on the master! You probably have a wheel cylinder leaking
