Brake fluid question
I have had a phase 2 (X-reg) 1.9 diesel V40 for about a year now. Today the brake warning light failed to go out. When I checked, the fluid was just level with a little tube that leads off from the fluid reservoir. The brakes were working as normal. So I took the lid off and topped it up with dot 4 as specified. But inside the lid is a black bulbous thing, made of thin soft plastic. When I put the lid back on, a lot of the brake fluid came pouring out again. There's no mention of this in the Haynes manual. I can remember having this problem some time last year. If the level where the light stays on is 'MIN' where should 'MAX' be? It didn't take a lot of fluid. And what's the big black thing for? (Sorry if this is a common problem that everyone else knows about.)
