Right, so pushing and causing it to "trip by" or slide up the angle expands it, just to be sure?

No worries there, I never disassembled the drivers side and didn't replace the passenger adjuster so as long as they were correct parts when it came to me, they still are. Any idea as to up/down being expand/retract?

Certainly seemed to be the wheel cylinder today. It was nice to be able to go to Autozone and walk out with a new one for $11, in contrast to when I received my BMW's front wheel bearing in the mail today. I got one made in China which I refuse to put on, and now I lose out on installing it...

Got under the truck today. Master, booster and the area where they connect looks clean and free of any fluid. No paint damage or residue. Followed the front lines from the master to the calipers, nothing looks disturbed or wet that I could see. Followed the line under the length of the car to...

Guys, thank you for all the helpful posts and tips. I"ll check into all the things mentioned, lost fluid again overnight. If I can't find something obvious I'll take it in but I'm hoping I can find it myself; I hate paying a shop for something I know I can do myself but just can't pinpoint.

The video you posted did not pertain to either of my problems, although the title referenced searching before posting. Seemed like a rib to me. I do plan on having it looked at by a professional, however how am I to figure out why the brakes are acting up without asking anyone?

If that was an insult, it was a poor one. Great way to welcome a new member to the community though. I never said the fluid just evaporated, only that I never saw where it went. Also, I've seen strange cases in my time wrenching where something leaked, was refilled and then never leaked again...

Master cylinder reservoir was empty. Filled it up, turned it on, pumped the pedal several times and topped off the fluid. Feels great now. I never saw a puddle commensurate with how much and how quickly I lost fluid when this first happened. I'm going to give it a few days and see if I lose it...

Greetings, I'm a long time BMW enthusiast and home mechanic and this is my first SUV/truck. It's definitely a different ownership experience but I'm enjoying the contrasts so far. I've already fixed a couple of small issues that it came to me with, but I've got two new problems that I'd like...
