If the reservoir was bone dry and no brakes that would bother me... I take it it had fluid but just a little low... You said she said she lost her brakes but it has fluid in the reservoir... I am think'n the master is leak'n by,,, maybe even another problem,,, it best you have it checked,,, good brakes are hard to beat.... and the no brake complaint needs to be investigated... and yes its possible to loose the brakes and have fluid in the reservoir...
Back to the master,,, sometimes its hard to duplicate one that's fail'n... If I doubt one I shoot it, shin it and mount it.... every mechanic has their routine that they go thru to test for a leaker,,, not gonna go into that as they vary,,, I had a Nissan pathfinder that was loosing fluid,,, looked it over and no leaks so condemned the master,,, ordered up a new'n,,, removed the old one,,, 2 my surprise it was not leak'n out the back of the master so went hunt'n again,,, I found the leak at the lode compensator valve that's located just above the rear axle,,, had to eat some crow,,, I missed the leak on my initial check... I also remember the first low/no brake complaint I had that turned out to B a bad wheel bearing :evil:
As some others have said,,, its normal for the fluid to disappear """OVER TIME""" as the pads ware... Its the nature of the beast and a good indicator to check pad ware....

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
