Ford Escape: Brake/Clutch fluid
Brake and clutch (if equipped) systems are supplied from the same reservoir.
The fluid level will drop slowly as the brakes wear, and will rise when the brake components are replaced. Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX lines are within the normal operating range; there is no need to add fluid.
