The booster itself should not have any fluid in it. If you've got fluid dripping off it then it's coming from the master cylinder.

got a new master cylinder, still looks like its leaking, im going to watch the level... i have yellow fluid now... no more blue?! oh well i guess that can in my garage is useless.. ill use it as paintstripper i guess... where can i get the yellow stuff? i got blue at napa, the guy pointed me right to it after i said "dot 3"
brakes feel very squishy too... 200 and something dollars for the brakes that were covered by the warrantty, what a jip... anyways...
if the pedal travels 10 units, it feels like it goes 7 units without doing anything and then only brake activity seems around the last 3 units... its like nothing happens untill i push it near almost all the way down... whats up now...-Hawk<br /><br />===================================<br />Black 2001 Pontiac Firebird<br />Automatic Transmission Street Bird<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/550453\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/550453</a> <br /><br />\"Live like you were Dying\"Comment

You can get a bleed gun or just use a friend to compress the brake pedal while you open and close the bleed screw. They also make one-way bleed screw valves so you can do it yourself without using a gun.
Although it is not really recommended, DOT 3 and 4 are mixable with each other. DOT 4 has a higher boiling point than DOT 3. When the brake fluid (or water that has absorbed into the fluid) boils it changes to a gas which is what gives you your "spongey" brake feel.
DOT 5 is not compatible with 3 or 4 and should not be mixed with those. If you change to 5 you should flush the entire system, just like switching antifreeze from green to orange.
There's also a "Super" DOT also known as DOT 5.1 I believe which is similar to 3 and 4 and could be mixed with those (although not recommended) which has an extremely high boiling point, above 600° F.

you don't have to do anything. They warranty their work. They usually also have surveys sent out to you later on asking you how your experience was and how you rate them and such...Originally posted by DarkEcho:
