How do you add brake fluid to a 1990 Toyota Camry CSI Twin cam?
You add it to the master cylinder mounted on the firewall, drivers side. Do not overfill, and only add fluid from a sealed container. Use the proper fluid as listed on the master cylinder cap. If it is low of fluid it means that you either have a leak or the brake pads have worn down, and they should be checked. You may need to have your pads replaced. Fluid does not evaporate and those are the only reasons it will be low. This car is 16 years old, and if you have not had the fluid changed it is way over due. Have the entire brake system flushed and fresh fluid installed. Brake fluid should be changed at least every 3/36. This is an often overlooked service.
When brakes fluid keeps leaking out what does it mean?
That depends on where it's leaking out; if it's at the master cylinder, you have a bad master cylinder, if it's at the wheel cylinder you have a bad wheel cylinder if it's at a caliper... well, you get the idea. If you know how to repair a master cylinder, wheel cylinder or caliper, you can often get by with a little savings but it's usually best to just trot down to your local auto parts retailer and get a new or rebuilt one.
Why does your Jeep Grand Cherokee brake line still have air in it after you've bled it?

If there is fluid leaking in or on the wheels, your problem is most likely there at the leak. When the fluid fails to reach the wheels is when the master cylinder would be in question. Most often if you find and repair the leak, you have fixed the problem. After fixing the leak,make sure you fill your fluid to the full mark after you bleed the brakes to prevent any air from corrupting the system.

What would cause a clutch pedal to stay on the floor of a 95 jeep wrangler?
You've lost all pressure on the clutch cylinder. I can't tell you if it is the master cylinder, or the slave cylinder, or just that you have a slow leak and ran too low on fluid without being there to see it. Check the fluid level, if it's low or out refill it, then pump the clutch by hand in and out and check to see if the fluid is running out anywhere, the hose between the two cylinders may also be damaged, but you'll have to find that leak to be sure. If no leaks are found then it is probably a slow leak, you can bleed the system and get by for a little while but replacing the leaking part will need to happen soon, it is most likely the slave cylinder though, they go bad much more often than the master cylinders.
