Brake Fluid and Lubrication

Brake fluid type is Dot 3. It should also say on the reservoir cap.

According to the owner Guide , Motorcraft High Performance DOT 3 brake fluid

Yes, there is no such thing as clutch fluid. It's all brake fluid.

Yes.

You need to find out what's leaking and replace it before you have an accident.

Something has affected the alignment such as hitting a curb or something. The reason it shimmies and pulls to the right is that the tire is not rolling in a straight line. It may appear to be but it is actually dragging a little bit sideways and will wear out really fast if you don't get it corrected. The alignment is in the steering gear so just changing the tire won't fix it. You'd just wear out another tire.

DOT 4 brake fluid

SAE 80 or SAE 80w-90 below 50 f

SAE 90 or SAE 80w-90 0 to 90 f

SAE 140 above 50 f consistently

It is under the engine cover(hood)on the drivers side near the firewall. Normally has a black screw on cover with a float attached. Be very careful adding DOT 3 fluid because it will remove paint! The same container is used for the clutch and if the fluid gets too low, you will lose your clutch.

Hi. Brake fluid is some form of oil so it is light and will weigh less than one gallon of water, depending on the type of fluid used.

every 30,000 miles, in order to prevent internal decay on the rubber lines.

Probably DOT 3, Although DOT 4 supercedes DOT3. Check your owner's manual.

IF you have rear wheel drive it may be a grease seal for the rear differential. Otherwise it is probably a wheel cylinder. Check your brake fluid level. GEt this fixed ASAP- Safety concern. Wheel cylinder, brake fluid.. If it's a rear wheel drive vehicle, it may be the axle seal leaking as well. Hello... hello...

DOT 3

most any brake fluid which is DOT approved should be fine. Be sure to use a new, unopened container.

if you car required dot 4 which is the case for newer cars, it is best to have the system bled. since the boiling point of dot three is less than dot four. this will cause stress to your entire braking system if not properly dealt with.

DOT 3 is the fluid for you.

it is a warning light

No, it would ruin all the seals in the entire brake system.

I don't know if there is anything special about the 2001 Hyundai Accent. Probably not. Changing the brake fluid is the same procedure on most cars. Any car repair manual (e.g. Chilton or Haynes) should have the procedure, but it's also easy to find the instructions on the internet. See for example

http://www.ehow.com/how_2111457_change-cars-brake-fluid.html. siphon the fluid out of your master cylinder just until its at the bottom of the resivior, but no further, then fill it up to the top with clean fluid, then simply bleed each wheel until the fluid runs clean, make sure you keep the master cylinder fulkl

Pop the hood, on the drivers side of engine compartment, its tucked up under the cowl(black plastic area where the wipers rest) find the air filter box, follow the tube from the air filter box to the intake. The brake fluid reservoir is behind this black tube. you'll need a flash light to check the level. If it is low, look at the red connector on the bottom of this, these are prone to leaking. If it is wet at all, its leaking and needs to be replaced. The part is less than 20 bucks and just un screws.

On a 2001 Ford Taurus :
