When you apply the brakes, the brake pads clamp down on the rotors, generating pressure in the brake lines. This pressure pushes the brake fluid through the system, but as the brake pads make contact, the volume of fluid in the calipers decreases, causing the brake fluid to be displaced back into the reservoir. This is a normal function of hydraulic brake systems, ensuring that the fluid level remains balanced and that the brake system operates effectively.

Why does a disc brake squeal occur even when not applying the brakes?
A disc brake squeal can occur even when not applying the brakes due to vibrations between the brake pads and rotor, which can be caused by factors like uneven wear, contamination, or improper installation.
What is the function of brake fluid reservoir in cars?
To compensate for the wear on the brakes. As the brake pads wear down, they move closer to the rotors, and this brings the brake fluid level down slightly. Note: it is not a good idea to continually refill the brake fluid reservoir because a mechanic needs to check the level for an estimate of how much the brakes have worn. If the reservoir is full all the time it would appear that the brakes are not wearing down (which we know isn't true).
