I've added fluid 2 times this year and once last year, no visible leaks anywhere except for slight seepage at the caliper o rings, that's the only place I could be loosing it, guess I'll rebuild the calipers and do the lining while I'm at it.?????? Ken Wiltrout Kutztown <p a

Heath +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Loosing that much fluid should leave a tell tale sign somewhere. If you have any in-line fittings, like in the wing, etc., I'd be checking for some leaks. If you're running "plastic" lines they tend to soften at the brake attach with excessive braking and may be leaking there. I've only had to top my reservoirs once in 3 years and 260 hours and that was when I changed wheels and brakes.
