It always seems stays above the fill line. Is this normal?? What is the fluid level with ignition on? Is it below the mark 1/2 way down reservoir? If not then draw some out. You haven't said if your car is manual or auto. If manual then it is a combined resorvoir for both brake & clutch systems. Sounds like possible air in system but I've never experienced the problem, so thats just a guess. Might be worth bleedng system anyway. -- take off "ospam" to mail me
