Can you replace brake reservoir on a vehicle?
Sure. Sometimes it's integral to the master cylinder. But some master cylinders have a separate brake fluid reservoir that is connected by either a fluid tube or fit into an "O" ring seal on the master cylinder. You need to find out what kind you have and what you'll need to replace it. If you can't find a replacement master cylinder reservoir any other place, you'll need to get one either from a dealer or a wrecking yard.

How do you check Brake Fluid Levels in a 2001 Dodge Durango?
The brake fluid reservoir is located under the hood on the passenger side toward the firewall. it should be white with a black cap that may say "brake". Unscrew this cap and look inside the reservoir for your fluid level, then check the side of the reservoir for fluid level markings. If your fluid level lines up with the mark that says "Full" - You are good to go. If not, and you are low, you will need to add DOT3 approved brake fluid until the level in the reservoir matches the full mark on the side of the reservoir.
One thing you may notice on the reservoir cap (underneath) is a rubber grommet "cup" which may be in the extended position...coming out of the cap. Gently push this back into the cap and screw back on to the reservoir.

Coolant will go into the coolant recovery tank -there should be a min-max line.
