Ditto!  Where the heck does it go?  There doesn't seem to be anything burning,
 or
anything dripping, yet I always seem to be out of fluid...

Also, there is a neat little system for bleeding brakes... It's a bleeder screw
with a spring loaded nipple so fluid can get out, but no air can get back in.
 I've
tried every suction-based method of pumps and the like, but nothing ever really
works.  I usually go to Meineke where they have a power bleeder that pressurizes
brake fluid through the master cylinder so opening up the bleeders causes an
instant squirt with no backfeed.  Pretty nifty, takes 5 minutes, and only costs
$12.50.
