    I was looking at fluids before my trip, but it looks like there’s something that doesn’t belong in there. Is this normal?IMG_1963.jpg

    It’s underneath the screen. Looks like little pieces of plastic between the plastic cross part. I don’t want to mess with it since not sure if I could get myself in a hole I wouldn’t be able to get myself out of

    The screen is torn, and that’s why it looked weird.
    What I thought was debris, was a piece of plastic that’s inside the reservoir.

    Yank that F'er out. You can live without the damaged screen. Just keep crap other than DOT 3/4 brake fluid out of it.
