Added brake fluid.

138,945 total miles.

Added about 9oz O'Reilly DOT-3 brake fluid from a fresh can. It seems to be taking around 1oz brake fluid every 1k miles. This seems excessive (though not expensive, 12oz of brake fluid is only $3-$4). I've been in denial that there is a leak in the brake system but I don't think it would be needing fluid this often if there weren't.

The master cylinder looks pretty dirty so I cleaned it off and tightened the two 13mm lines going in/out of it. We will see if anything changes in the next 10k miles.
