Awesome, thanks. Following up a beginner question with a second. How do I check the CMC reservoir? I have been looking around online and it I found a guide http://forums.s2kca.com/showthread.php?t=12154 , but is there a way to easily just check the state of the fluid? I opened what I believed to be the correct cap, but there was not really anything to be seen.

Thanks again.

Does it look like this? Even lower? No fluid at all?

This was my CMC reservoir when I had the issue, and it's much lower in this pic than it should be. If you popped the cap off the reservoir and you don't see any fluid, your problem is quite clear.

Fill the reservoir, start bleeding and keep the reservoir filled while continuing to bleed until the bleed is clean, no air or dirt.

You will want to keep a very close eye on it for a few weeks after doing so, if you find the fluid is dropping even in that short of a time frame you probably have a leak at which point someone else would have to step in to assist in identifying where that may be... it is not something I have dealt with myself yet. *knock on wood*
