When soaking the brake fluid out of a reservoir, make sure to use as lint free of a cloth as is possible. If lint or debris gets into the brake system then brake problems can occur.

Is it okay to put brake fluid in your transmission to stop a leak?
No!Transmissions use transmission fluid, which has a very different specification of oils and chemical additives to brake fluid. It is also quite different to engine oil.Brake fluids should ONLY be used for braking systems. As there are at least two different kinds of brake fluid, it is important to use the right kind for your vehicle's brakes!Engine oils should ONLY be used for engines. As there are many different kinds of engine oil, it is important to use the right kind for your vehicle's engine!If you have a leak in your transmission (meaning Gear box? Propeller shaft? Differential?) you must first flush out the old fluid - which may be contaminated with dirt from being "open" to dirt flung up from the road - then be sure to get the leak fixed before you re-fill with the right kind of transmission fluid for your vehicle.
When pressing the brakes the pedal goes all the way to the floor?
You have a leak in the brake system, need to check the medal brake lines that run through the frame rail and goes to the back wheels, It is common for those to rust into towards the back. If lines are okay then check the wheel cylinders. If you are not low on brake fluid then you probley have a bad master cylinder.
How often should I check the brake fluid in my car?
You should check your brake fluid every three months to make sure the levels are okay. If the levels are down, replace the fluids immediately...better safe than sorry.
What if your brakes go all the way to the floor after pumping them up vacuum can the problem?
That will have nothing to do with the vacuum. It either has a brake fluid leak / CHECK brake lines for leaks.It is very common for the brake line that runs between the fuel tank and frame going to the rear wheel cylinders to rust in half or have a hole rusted in it. If it is leaking then you will have brake fluid leaking under the truck towards the back / Behind the cab.If lines are okay, then check rear wheel cylinders for leaks.If you have no leaks then the mastercylinder may be by-passing fluid inside of it.These things are the only reason for your problem. Hope I've helped.
Automatic Transmission Fluid Leak 1995 Buick Century?

Where do you fill the clutch fluid and can brake fluid be used to fill it?
Do you mean the clutch master cylinder or transmission fluid? They both will be under the hood, the clutch master cylinder will more than likely be on the drivers side near the dash and will say what type of fluid to put in (dot 3) and will say clutch master cylinder. Just open the plastic cap when the fluid is cool and fill to the fill line. I believe as long as the brake fluid says dot 3 or whatever type you need it's okay to use. As for transmission fluid, do NOT use brake fluid for that, buy regular transmission fluid

Why do brake lights on 1993 Toyoya Camry wagon not work but the taillights do and all fuses seem to be okay?
The brake lights are a separate circuit from the tail lights. If the bulbs and fuse checks okay, I would suspect the brake light switch is at fault.
Is it really okay to blame BP for the oil leak?
Yes and no. It is okay to blame BP for the parts of the oil leak that they were actually responsible for. It is not okay to blame BP for the entire fault of the oil spill, where other people were responsible. Each party involved should share their appropriate share of the responsibility and blame.
