Happy New Year!

My brakes have gone soft. I push them in hard and they hardly stop the bus. I can pump them hard again but it's a momentary fix.

The brake fluid is really dirty / dark and overflowing in the front 'well' and about an inch from the top at the back one.

It happened a couple of weeks ago around the time our alt belt broke and the battery died but it came right, perhaps after I mopped out the fluid from the 2 wells and refilled it?!

It also seems to be overflowing / leaking a little from the front well, and when I started to open it while hot yesterday (guessing now your not supposed to do that?) it started to overflow as I was prying the top off so I quickly closed it.

So, is it usually so dark and any suggestions on what I should do??
Is synthetic Dot 3 ok to use?? that's what I put in it last time.

Thanks!

JP
