Abstract
A method for locating defects in a hydraulic brake system, in which a master cylinder is in communication with the outlet port of a compensating reservoir, which includes the steps of placing a measuring burette on the compensating reservoir's outlet port and operating the brakes to measure and determine the volume of brake fluid that flows from the master cylinder to the compensating reservoir when the brake is applied. A compensating reservoir making use of the method includes a measuring opening adapted to be closed by a measuring burette positioned above the outlet port of a compensating reservoir which outlet port is in communication with the master cylinder. Where the compensating reservoir includes a float acting as a level indicator, which is connected by a rod to a circuit operating contact piece or member, the rod is hollow and is arranged to pass through the float and the contact piece. The outlet port of the compensating reservoir has a measuring opening which is arranged coaxially with the hollow rod.
