Brake Fluid

What's Up, I noticed the brake fluid swishing around in the Resevoir, Is this Normal? Looks like it goes through some kinda cooling system maybe.

Brake fluid movement in reservoir should be negligible. When you press the brake you compress fluid already in the brake lines which does not compress easily. Only fluid that gets into the brake lines is additional fluid to expand the caliper pistons as the brake pads wear,...very slow gain of fluid. I've never heard of reverse flow.

ABS modulator might send some fluid into the system on initial startup, but I don't know this to be the case.

good luck

Normal for PS fluid to be circulating. It's continually being pumped and returned to reservoir.

good luck
