Huge Break Fluid Leak
i filled up the break fluid resevoir last night and by the same tyme 2night i t was empty. i havent used the breaks hard at all, cuz i usually like to cruise around rather than steppin on it. my question i heard that the master cylinder like to leak alot, is this true? how can i fix it?

Find the leak, replace the leaking part. Finding it should be easy...Look for the huge puddle of brake fluid.

How do your Brakes feel, when applied? Good? If so, maybe you didn't tighten the cap on the BMC. I know, far fetched.
