I just saw my friend's son's girlfriend's 2007 Toyota Camry 4 cyl. w/208K.
The battery was filthy. The engine air cleaner top was misaligned on the box bottom and had a broken bolt tab.
The coolant looked tired and the P/S fluid was darker than I keep mine.
THE KICKER was the brake fluid. The reservoir is a plastic cylinder with a single black line. The line is relatively low down. It goes about 1/4 way up the reservoir
I saw no fluid and peeled off the rubber lid. No fluid did I see. I filled it to the level mark then watched it disappear downward.
I did this twice more and then some to get it to stay on the level mark.
The next day it was above the low mark and about half way up the reservoir.
WHAT GIVES? We saw no evidence of leakage and indeed kept our eyes peeled.
They went home and I didn't hear that they crashed so I guess it's OK.
Any ideas?
