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.
