I need to replace the cap/seal on the break fluid reservoir; have some weeping into the top catch area and the rubber seal on the cap is bad (no fluid on the floor inside the car). There is still plenty of fluid in the master cylinder reservoir and the breaks feel great! So I think I caught it before air entered the system.

Before replacing the cap/seal, I want to top off the break fluid. Any recommendations for what type of fluid to add? And is it OK to mix & match with what's already in there?

Thanks!

Googling "break fluid" may yield coffee advertisements.

I prefer to use BRAKE fluid in my cars.
